Old topic, old dews!

[Capslock]

I posted pics of these once before - don't remember how long ago. Anyway, they just keep going and going. A couple older 'dews that I just leave alone.

First, D. slackii:

Oh!!!!!!

I love the skirts of dead leaves, it just gives them a certain desirable look to me.

 

[Meaven]

those are spectacular. i absiolutely must get ahold of some admirabilis once dormancy is over.

Ya know, my D. admirabilis is doing that skirt of dead leaves thing... and I was wondering if that was a bad sign. So I guess that is normal phenomenon? Great looking plants!

It's gotta have somewhere to go lol

that really reminds me of some prehistoric cycad lol

 

[Finch]

Thats one way for a ground-hugging rosette to reach for the light


Looks like a bunch of cycads, like clint said. I wonder if the stem is slef-supporting without the leaves to hold it up?

 

[blokeman]

the leaves most probably help keep it up, my aliciaea is doing the same, it spurted a second growth point and it topples due to not having support on one side when i removed the 2nd point.

Good looking sundews I really like how they stack up like never seen D. admirabilis or D. slackii before.

You're kidding!

I never knew Slackii made those skirts. That's just amazing.
