The Dew Line

I can't comment on flowering as my D. slackii never have, probably due to not experiencing low enough temps. But, the deeper pots have allowed the plants to become larger than I was used to seeing. I recently moved my largest D. graomogolensis into a tall pot and it is increasing in size for the first time in 2 years.

These pictures are a couple weeks old, but I think they look great:

Drosera binata clone, very red under the lights.




Also, check out the pink tentacles on these Drosera capensis 'Albino'!



That's what bright light can get you.

That D. caduca × falconeri is very nice-looking. I really like the big round lamina on the raised petioles.

Winter Wonderland. It seems the winter growers get started later and later every year. My Dionaea went dormant only a couple weeks ago. Finally some life from the winter growers.

I gotta say...That is a lovely little clump of spatulata. Great picture; should be featured someplace as representative of the species.
 
That is one of the oddest spatulata I've ever seen.... such a tight clump! I've seen similar growth on my various D. tokaiensis occasionally or sometimes the spatulata 'Tamlin', but never THAT compact....
 
why thank you
the capes and spatulatas in the pics were my first plants ever Im pretty sure, I was at the stage where you think they are so fragile that if you touch the plant its going to wither and die. So it divided 3 times and i just never separated them.. dubbed it the three headed monster. btw funny you mention tokaiensis having similar growth because Ive been told a few times it might be tokaiensis. I just call them spatulata to be safe, they never seemed to turn red like other tokaiensis

I've never had my tokaiensis turn red.... ever. And with that prolific activity I'd bet it could be, though I'd have to see a full leaf to say. Save for the smaller spatulata forms, one distinction that separates that species from tokai is a notable widened tip of the lamina, unlike the more gradual tapering of most spat forms.
