Just moved this to hopefully get it developing more color, but at least it's sprouted...
D. squamosa Laterite Form by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Growing in the wrong pot, but looking good doing so...
D. grantsaui by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And, conflicted by this; on one hand, a major first is on the way here, but on the other, this was supposed to be an orange form, and that's not looking orange to me....
D. cistiflora (orange?) by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
 
Will it live this time? Hopefully...at least though it's making a hybrid for me (if for once I can get seeds to sprout)
D. darwinensis Berrimah, NT by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Another new hybrid I've made
D. anglica "Kanaele Bog, HI" x filiformis "Nova Scotia" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Lost my katangensis and flexicaulis is giving trouble...and "elongata" don't want to propagate...but bequaertii are doing well

Another attempt, will probably relocate to give it more seasonal conditions
D. regia 'Big Easy' by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
This thing needs a repot but I'm terrified to disturb it
D. neocaledonica by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
D. spiralis Itacambira by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
 
Haven't taken many dew pics recently, and a lot of the pygmies are still not quite happy about the soil mix I last tried...but this is one that's doing okay even in the really old crappy stuff I started with at this house
D. gibsonii by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
 
Just occurred to me: You could make your linearis x spatulata hexaploid then cross it with D. tokaiensis. The result would essentially be a hexaploid nagamotoi (anglica x spatulata). See what I mean? You could name it nagamotoi subsp. whatever.

I'm guessing that this would require the use of a plant mutagen like Colchicine?
 
I don't know if that would be applicable, because it would be an entirely different arrangement of chromosomes doubling and the hybrid would not be part of a stable new species lineage like both anglica and tokaiensis are.
Also I have several nagamotoi iterations already and wouldn't really need another.
