A different kind of pic thread

[Pyro]

So I'll jump on the band wagon a little but make my pic thread semi-educational too

Tuberous seedling shots:

And D. cistiflora seedlings

I love growing from seed but my eyes hate me for it LOL

 

[jimscott]

I can a pic of D. peltata & auriculata, before I killed them:

Can I play too...

Jeeze you guys must have eagle eyes - there's no way I'd be able to spot those with my eyes!

That's what magnifying glasses are for

 

[Ant]

Cool, but next time make sure you aren't crushing any with that giant quarter! man are they tiny!

 

[Jefforever]

Nice plants, Travis.

Voodoolizard - what species is that? Pretty cool. It's tuberous right?

 

[Tamlin Dawnstar]

Good job!!!! Howsabout some adult photo's?

 

[polywer2345]

I have some! I'll take pics later. Chow!

 

[Fryster]

So tiny!!

Watch for molds and the accursed fungus gnat larva.

Well, I do not have adults of any of those specifics (except the cisti) but I'll run a tuberous thread here in a bit once I get the camera out on them

Watch for molds and the accursed fungus gnat larva.

Never had a issue with either of those thankfully.

How about plant sex? The birds and the bees and such.

Drosera macrophylla ssp macrophylla "Wongan Hills, WA" flower

 

[Not a Number]

Well, it isn't a tuberous Drosera but it is something unique. Drosera meristocaulis, the second generation.

Without fanfare last year Ivan Snyder was able to successfully cross pollinate two plants from the original batch of seeds distributed by Fernando Rivadavia several years ago. This species does not appear to self-pollinate or be self-fertile. It is extremely difficult to cultivate. Don't expect any more seed anytime soon. Ivan no longer has the parent plants (given away).

Most recent seedling. Silver objects are common straight pins. Gives you an idea of the size:

That hs to be the coolest-looking pygmy sundews.
For anyone who hasn't seen this picture, it is a neat one I found online.

best of luck with it NaN!

Yes, a pygmy Drosera from South America that does not produce gemmae. Photos of parent plants can be seen here:

I don't have any really rare plants, but here is my contribution. I got these tubers from you a few months ago, Pyro. So far, these are the only two tubers that have popped up (no d. gigantea yet )

d. peltata var foliosa


d. peltata var gracilis


My first peltata to start "climbing." I got these as seeds in a trade a while back.
