:O Wow it is a pleasant surprise!! Aren't they supposed to be hard to flower too? Can you get a shot of the whole plant too please?

Nice photo Jim!

Not hard to flower at all if given bright, indirect light or place 5-6 inches below a florescent light.
I also from time to time crush up a little fish food flakes and sprinkle a little on my sundews to fertilize them.

Not sure when this was taken, but I don't think it was this year

A few hours after the first picture:

Related to the D. adelae is the D. prolifera:

Looking real good Jim!

They flower rather easily. Getting seed is another matter. The white flower form seems to have disappeared from cultivation.

I'll settle for the plantlets!
