Genlisea Hispidula

[Jefforever]

I don't believe I've seen many Genlisea posts on Terraforums, so here's mine.

Yes, there's a flower.

And a U. quelchii, just for fun (yes, it's not much... yet ) :

I sowed some Genlisea seed of some earlier seed pods, but they're supposed hard to germinate.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for sharing! That's certainly something you don't get to see everyday. I had a pot of G. Hispidula once upon a time. You're certainly doing something right!

That's quite the flower stalk! Nice plants!

 

[Jefforever]

Thanks guys! All you need is one leaf - that's how I started mine.

Crystal - Maybe we should trade one of these days...

G. hispidula flower stalks get insanely long. It's almost unbelievable. I think I had one that was about 18 inches before I traded it away, wrapped around in a circle throughout some Drosera.

I'm sure we can work something out one of these days .

That flower is pretty insane. I didn't know they could get quite that tall.

It actually wasn't vertical. It started growing horizontally then just keep wrapping and looping through everything, popping out a new flower every couple of inches.

I'm looking for a Genlisea, but its quite hard to fins any over here in NZ!!! We have like, 2 species. And I can't 'legally' import any. Oh well, yours look really really nice.

Nice . Maybe you can try a set up where you can see the traps.

 

[Jefforever]

Thanks Kath and Capensis.

Wow, Jim - is that a drosophyllum in there?!?!?!

Or maybe some sort of Byblis? I'm bad with those genuses.

That was a Drosophyllum in there! It was an accidental interloper. I killed it several weeks later!
