Brie's CP photo thread

[Brie]

Time for an update! This time, all petiolaris dew pics...

I unbagged my D. falconeri x aff. ordensis seedlings a week or so ago, and just unbagged the rest of the pots today... They're all in a sealed tank at 100% humidity or close to it, so figured the risk is minimal.. The Falconeri x aff ordensis definitely took off in growth since being unbagged...

This is the largest, also shown in my previous post..

And I finally can take a pic, sort of, of this little guy. My single D. broomensis seedling.. 1 out of 10 seeds germinated, kinda poopy.

A new D. ordensis settling in nicely.

new D. kenneallyi x ordensis also settling in and starting to show some growth

D. paradoxa

D. kenneallyi that was dormant upon arrival, now showing growth and a flower stalk. crappy cell phone pic taken before I decided to pull out my real camera. lol.

And THESE are making me super happy... I was given a dormant falconeri, of which I accidently snapped the entire plant away from its little dormant root bud thingie. So in effort to save the situation, I pulled every leaf off of the plant and tossed em in RO... and i'd say 99% of them so far have strikes are are growing like crazy-town. Its super hard to get non-blurry photos due to them being in a cup, but here's the best I could manage.

Mannnn, I love petiolaris-es-es. They look like they're happy or happy to be settling in. And awesome strikes on the D. falconeri leaves, I'd say you probably saved the situation, haha. Well done.

 

[thez_yo]

Yayyy! Hopefully I can coax my ordensis out of the dormancy I received it in

 

[Exo]

Very nice....you are good at this.

 

[Brie]

Thanks guys

 

[TheFury]

Excellent photography! Oh, and the plants are cool too I guess...

Nice growing!

 

[mass]

dang.. look who's off and running with the petiolaris!

 

[Smitty]

My,My,Brie....you are turning into a Drosera Pimp!

Great pics!

Very nice Brie! I have always liked these sundews, but have yet to set up a proper tank for them.

 

[lance]

Congrats on the falconeri pullings! The leaves have a nice color to them.

 

[Wire Man]

You amaze me with the amount of new plants you pull in all at once.

 

[Brie]

lol well its not really all at once.. more like.. a little bit constantly. lol.

 

[Peatmoss]

Nice petiolaris!

If you keep the ordensis well fed it will get huge really fast! Definitely one of my favorite species.

 

[dionae]

lol well its not really all at once.. more like.. a little bit constantly. lol.

Same here.

Looking good, Brie! Where did you get your petiolaris seeds from? I just got some from a certain Czech company, but I don't have a lot of faith that they'll germinate.

 

[Brokken]

I really like the white sand in the petiolaris droseras. Nice job!

And GREAT job with making the best situation out of the falconeri incident.

The falconeri x aff. ordensis and aff. ordensis x paradoxa seeds came from a user here, while the broomensis and ordensis seeds came from a seed company in canada... The first two had a WAY higher germ. rate, even though I had em in my fridge all season long til I developed the cajones to try it out.. I think like 80-90% of em germinated... Compared to the seeds from canada, I got ONE broomensis and still dont see any ordensis.. *shakes head* Waste of money me thinks. Seeds were prolly crazy old or something.

Unfortunately I have heard that about them many times Brie.

Thanks. Yeah, that's about what I'm expecting, at best. It's only been a couple of weeks, but so far nothing. I'm sure the seeds are very old, but I was desperate.

Well, the first germination I think I noticed was right around the 2 week mark, may of been 3... so just keep watchin em.. How are you doing yours? Mine were bagged, inside a tank, at 90-100 degrees...
