D. adelae - some pics of the species

Hey tommyr: is there a yellow-flowered clone in your group pic, or is that just cmaera flash? A yellow would be so cool!

They look white... Do you have the WHITE flowered form? Sure looks like it. That's supposed to be a pretty rare variety of the species
 
How cold are your winters, tommyr? I live in a furnace...never less than 74F. LOL

This photo is amazing!! I've never really wanted to grow this species before, but now I do.
 
Absolutely incredible photos! (jimscott, cindy, etc.....)

I can't believe how much they look like D. regia, how long do the leaves get?

I will definitely have to try to get some of this plant, I really like the way the flower spikes unfurl; it sort of looks like a reverse-fiddlehead.

The longest leaf at the moment is 5" long. I read that it can go up to 10". :-O

The temperatures here are between 73F and 93F. RH fluctuates from 53% to 95%. Temperatures are not actually ideal for the group of plants...D. schizandra and particularly D. prolifera would melt if left in ambient conditions.

I believe that clone is particularly vigorous in my hot and humid conditions. I have another plant, Drosera adelae {Giant}, which is s...l....oooo..w. It is still one plant and only 1.5" across while I've gotten at least 40 plants from the cuttings from the vigorous clone! The Drosera adelae {Giant} also goes dewless once in a while. :-(
