Picture attempt

Here's my first attempt at posting a pic. Not sure what variety of sundew this is but it seems to be doing ok. About 3/4 inch across.

:biggrin:
 
This is the sundew that came with the kit I bought. I took the photo with a Nikon Coolpix 800. Love my digital camera.

actually ceph, I believe spatulata usually has "tentacles" extending almost all the way to the base. I looks like a capillaris to me, or maybe intermedia though I doubt it. Tamlin, any ideas??

Intermedia was my first thought, then again, I don't know if maybe baby spathulata don't develope tentacles all the way down the leaf until they are older.
 
Its definatley not Intermedia! Intermedia has its leafstalks held upright and the blade is more elongated than that. I think The plant is either Spathulata or Natalensis.
 
Same here. I definetly think it is a small D.Spathulata. You could have another type of rosseted sundew also. It is just hard to tell while it is still so small.
 
My D. Spat..(kansia) does not look like that, like noah said there stems are more compact in the middle of the plant, so dont kno i wish icould have my pics developed by now

just thought iwould have my word in
 
Juvenille forms are hard to diagnose. If I had to come up with a guess, it would be spatulata kansai. Give it a couple of months and post another photo. I might tell more from the stipules then, when they develop. BTW I consider spatulata kansai to be a species in it's own right: Drosera tokiensis, unless we are going to start calling Drosera anglica Drosera rotundifolia x linearis. The same criteria apply to both these "hybrids". Besides, this way there is one less spatulata to deal with!
 
I think it might be easier to ID now... it's matured in the past month and a half.

I think it is a Drosera Rotundifolia .
[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>
definitely NOT
 
I have plants that look just like that, and are suposed to be spathulata. Also, check out petflytrap's catalog. They have pictures of spathulata.
 
This plant is Drosera spatulata "Kansai" form, a.k.a. Drosera toukiensis, a hybrid of rotundifolia x spatulata which is fertile. It is found in a limited range in Japan. This is one of the largest of the spatulata complex if grown well, and with good light gets a beautiful coloration.
