howdy all.
Ron Ruppel from SE Fla. (Treasure Coast, specifically) I've been into CPs for many years, but several years ago I fell out of contact with the community, and over the years my collection gradually died off. My last, a Nep x Andrewensis, passed away just last month and I've been in...
Hi,
I just finished my bog (a bit under 2 square meters and about 50cm deep), 1:1 peat and sand.
Right now I have it with sarracenias and dionaeas. I'm adding some pygmies and a d. regia (does very well outdoors here)
My climate is mediterranean, virtualy frost free (light frost once every...
D. paradoxa
D. binata seedling hiding with the D. paradoxa
D. capensis trying to take over a 10 gal terrarium.
and, of course, one of my pygmies, D. nitidula ssp omissa
Got a couple of pygmies that I'm not sure of the ID.
This one looks like a stocky version of D. scporpioides. They are about 4cm to 5cm tall.
and these I think are D. nitidula ssp allantostigma
Any help would be appreciated.
This is my second year I have grown my pygmy sundew. Each year I start a new pot of them, but what happened last year is also happening this year with my parent plants. My parent pygmies are dying after making some gemmae. So I will have no where near the amount I thought I was going to have...

Well, this was my first attempt at spelling w/ pygmies. I used Drosera Nititulada x pulchella. First, I spelled my name and then I just scattered the remaining gemmea below it. I only just noticed that the extras ended up forming the "Zoro 'Z"" LOL
This here is my first pygmy flower, and I...
i want to try pygmies.... but i'm afraid they won't grow in the hot Georgia weather! i need all advice and any beginner species to start out with. i really wanna try them because i've never grown them before.
Hello to all,
I just wanted to share with everyone the latest news about D.meristocaulis -- news which will throw open discussions about the spread of CPs and plants in general... I've just received results of DNA sequencing which puts D.meristocaulis NOT as a close relative of pygmy...
I've never taken photos of my pygmy drosera, so I thought I'd do them all at once today. They live outdoors year round on my deck. I got almost all of these as gemmae from Tamlin, jeez, almost 2 years ago now. All of them have lived, in various rates of success, through some abuse. Oh, and some...
I received these plants as a substitution for plants I ordered a while ago. I do not have the space to even try to grow these types of Drosera and they are a tad difficult for me anyway. Pygmies aren't for me. I need temperate species that can remain outside in the MidWest year round.
I have...
After finishing a container of chocolates, I realized the transparent pyramid shaped container would also make a great cp house; and with all the bogs and natural terrarium projects going on, why not?
Below is a picture of the plan for my cp pyramid. The pyramid is a square based pyramid...

The first is in a pot of miscellaneous drosera I got at a BACPS raffle. What are the big red ones?
And this one is in a pot of pygmies. It clearly has a more vertical growth, and looks a lot different than the pygmies, which are D. palacea
Sorry for the photos, but it's getting too dark to...

i've been looking in to getting a d. capensis<span style='color:red'>[Edit: correct to D. capensis, the genus name, even when abbreviated is always capitalized.]</span> (cook's has them on sale ) since i know they're native to S. Africa and i figured they wouldn't need a dormancy... however one...
The other day I was examining my terrarium and I noticed something strange in the middle of one of my D. NxP and upon further examination I realized it(they) were gemmae!!! I think my plant wants a vacation or somethin in Australia cause it sure as heck isn't on Boone time and temps(in the teens...
