Drosera occidentalis ssp australis flower opens today

 

[eBeyonder]

Very nice, JK! How long did it take for the plant to flower from gemmae?

 

[guqin]

That is increadible, JK! My D. occidentalis spp. australis are all very small. How big are the rosettes of the australis?

 

[jalan kayu]

gemmae to flower 3.5 months
rosettes size 15mm

All in direct sunlight with the plastic dome? Wow!!

<scrabbling to find space for pygmies to be at the windows>

By the way guys, can the plants take windy conditions? My place is so windy, I'm worried these little ones will get blown away!

 

[guqin]

If the roots are well established, that should not be a problem. I have one pot at my balcony and the plants are still there!

 

[eBeyonder]

Windy or not, make sure rain doesn't get to them... I had one pot just directly under shelter, but when the rain drizzled in at an angle (not the full blast), many of them were uprooted. Quite messy looking.

Oh, do pygmy flowers produce much seed? Is propagation by seed difficult for pygmys in general?
