Fantastic, I got the link this time! I be all excited, there are some rare jewels to be seen here Sebastian!!! WOW! Those photos of D. communis are knockouts! But are you sure these are in fact D. communis? The seed is thin and long and wispy? I suppose they must be, and it is just my inexperienced eye! They are quite different in form to the ones I cultivate from Biritiba-Ussu, and remind me of D. roriamae (I know that is not possible) with the upright habit and the persistent lower leaves all pointing down. There are far fewer hairs on the petioles too. See! Already these photos have clarified more of the nature of the species for me. If you have more I would love to see them either here or via email! Did you happen to get any macros of the stipules? If not, do you think you could press a leaf with stipule attached and send it to me? I'll trade you my cat for it
That offer is open to anyone BTW.
Maybe Fernando would be so kind as to talk about the variations of this species and their respective ranges and overlaps (not asking too much here am I)? Is the upright form genetic or environmental? I know many Drosera species elongate in semi-aquatic conditions, but this seems fairly consistent so I get the feeling its genetic. Isn't variation amazing!
Thanks and thanks again Sebastian. These are some wonderful photos of some beautiful seldom seen Drosera and Utricularia. As I look at the tentacles in your photos, I can definitely feel the D. communis there. There's something about that arrangement that grabs my eye.
This postcard will go on my favorite list and I will visit it often. I so envy your contact with such remarkable plants! I love that U. tricohpylla, what a beauty! Oh, and the U.cucullata, just growing and flowering like it wasn't a rare plant at all, LOL!
