D. capillaris forms

[Devon]

Here is one of mine. This one is from "Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida, US". I like it more than the typical capillaris. It seems easier to grow (some of my typical capillaris went into dormancy), and it has a slightly different look that I don't feel like trying to explain.

Feel free to post pics of yours, although I only know of four forms.

Beautifully grown and nicely photographed. Does this variety need a dormancy?

Nice! I've got a 'long arm' myself which I just read on ICPS is supposedly from Pasco County...didn't even think to look up if there was a collection locale until your thread.

We have 2 varieties in Virginia. One is a white flower with medium length leaves, and the other is a pink flowered form with short leaves. There are probably more, I just can't think of them.

Awesome. I'm going to post pics of my typical and young long arm form tomorrow.

Wish mine looked more like yours JP..

 

[pappydew]

And I certainly wish some of mine looked more like yours Mass

But I've found this to be one of the easiest and most prolific dews I've ever tried. Thing flowers almost weekly it seems!

i got a long arm Seminole county that I grew from seed
its 1 1/2 across ,how large will it get

 

[Devon]

Sweet plants!!!

@Mickey: 1 1/2 what? Inches? Centimeters?

Here's my little guy:

I had a few larger ones before, but I traded them away. I got the seeds from CPlantaholic, and he said that they were originally D. sp. "belem" but were relabeled to D. capillaris "long arm", which is exactly what it looks like to me.

And here is my typical form, which I admit looks kind of crappy...

My other ones went into dormancy, and then pretty much died.
