Evil Experiment

[Capensis]

Is it actually possible to cross breed a D. capensis and D. aliciae (even though I don't have a Capensis, but I am soon!)? Muhahaha!

Depends how long ago they branched off the evolutionary tree/bush. If they have a common ancestor from which they split off of recently, then there's a good chance you can cross them. Btw, what's so evil about crossing them ?

Yeah i am lost what is so evil about it?

maybe he just wants to make a very invasive hybrid muahhaaaa!!!

 

[Slurm]

That hybrid has been made before. I'm not sure if it is still in cultivation, however.
For some strange reason, D.capensis x aliciae is supposed to be very difficult to grow.

 

[Its_a_friday]

found a pic of it online. It grows like a normal capensis but doesn't form a stem over time

 

[bianchi914]

IT looks ok i wouldnt go out of my way to make one though

make a cross between regia and capensis

 

[Capensis]

I couldn't think of a title, but, I was hoping it would looked more awesome. Oh well. Plus, I don't have a Regia.

id like to see an red dentate VFT (talking bout cross breeding/ mutations here)... thatd be intimidating!
oooh!!! or rajah lowii (neps)

Alright I want some hybrid drosera

 

[BuddhistAdam]

id like a dragon (the dew i mean)

 

[Capensis]

What about a hybrid between a D.capensis and... a pygmy sundew, that would be weird.

 

[BuddhistAdam]

i dont think its possible genetically because a capensis is from africa and pygs are from down under mostly and flower size sperm size etc... but im guessin

True, so I guess Capensis x any other south african Drosera.
