It's huge! It looks as big as a tulip! Very nice, I like!

Beautiful! I love the dewy structures on the flower stalk too, unusual.

By the way, your grow/wish list links in your signature need to be edited from the conversion.

Wow, I had no idea sundews could have such pretty flowers. Great color, too!

 

[FarmerDave]

What type of sundew is that?
It looks awsome!!!
congrats!!!

 

[Christian Dietz]

Hi,

thanks for the nice comments!

@Dave:
This is one of the wintergrowing south-african Drosera (an extremely interesting group of plants!). Not the easiest to cultivate, but the flowers are worth it.


Christian

P.S.: My signature should work now again. Thanks!

Very nice looking!

 

[FarmerDave]

Awsome!!!
you mean like D. cistiflora?

 

[Christian Dietz]

Hi,

yes, the plant belongs to the highly interesting group of plants, that also contains D. cistiflora. This means, the plants do need a dry (but not too dry) summer-dormancy. This is the most crucial point in cultivating these beautiful plants.

If I had only known this was a SA a month ago... LOL For some reason I thought this guy was a pygmy... What kind of fool am I?!?
