A Drosera prolifera showing some very Dionaea-esque trapping mechanisms.

That's great, Drew!

 

[Sundrew]

Thanks Whim! I thought it was just bizarre. I'd never seen my prolifera snap shut like that.

That is really cool! Nice pic, drew. If I'm not mistaken, rotundifolias close around their prey in a similar fashion, right? Also, is that a dew gland on the stem of that leaf...? Weird...

 

[Sundrew]

lol I didn't even notice the tentacle. Rotundifolia wraps up similarly, but it doesn't bend so neatly in half. This is an odd trait, or so I think.

I'm really enjoying the flowers on this U. nephrophylla x U. nelumbifolia -- so just had to snap a pic .... The bulging 'eyes' is a real hook for me ...

(taken in-situ -- can you tell ? )

[Whimgrinder]

Fascinating, T!

I love the pictures of drosophylum leaves unfurling.

 

[DJ57]

That thing really took off, looks like it never skipped a beat with its traumatic beginnings...another myth dispelled? That is one fat and sassy droso and thank you for posting its progress!

it stopped growing for about a month or two when I repotted it, but after that it was off and running.
Can't wait to see it this time next year.. I love it, thank you.

wish that thermometer wasn't in the shot..

 

[Sundrew]

Wow mass, that's amazing.

thanks TOG. It's actually the same female x Tiveyi that I entered in the POTM this month.

 

[Keith]

Ahh! Whim, the Ceph is huge!

 

[mylesG]

hello all so my (vent x sib) x TM opened its first pitcher since arriving a couple months back. I am in love with this thing already so figured it'd fit for a pic of the day post for sure.

Nice photos everyone. Can't wait to get my hands on some x trusmadiensis hybrids!
