Pygmy flowers

[Drosera36]

After an increase in photo period, the pygmies decided to stop making gemmae and start putting up flowers.

D. paleacea ssp. paleacea

These flowers last from "sunrise" till "sunset".

D. pulchella "Pink flower"

Unfortunately, these flowers only last a few hours.

Hey Ben - good to see some of your pictures again. That D. pulchella flower is beautiful.

Unfortunately, these flowers only last a few hours.

Yeah, that really is a tradgey. While attending secret meetings across campus on Friday I was able stop in to my apartment while one of my pygmies was in flower. I love how small and petite they are.

Thanks for sharing. Hope to see some more pictures of some of your other plants real soon!

xvart.

edit: I didn't realize how fuzzy it was zoomed in that close. I can't compare to your photography!

Thanks guys.

xvart, what species is that? Those lil gumdrop stigmas in the flower are pretty neat. The only reason my pics are clear so close up is because they have a pretty good macro function. Heh I guess it takes some practice though...

For some reason, though, my D. scorpioides won't flower, despite the fact that it's mature.
