Seeing germination in my D. ramellosa pot, but the growth didn't turn out in the pics. Other than that, a couple updates:

D. macrophylla ssp. monantha

D. erythrorhiza ssp. squamosa (Albany Hwy) putting up a new growth. Seems quite happy..

D. macrophylla.. obviously.

D. lowriei 'Giant'

D. prolifera 'WFF'

Looking great!

Awesome Mass!

 

[Wire Man]

So pretty!

Drosera menziesii

 

[pappydew]

I love the climbing species!

I think you stuck the wrong name in front of the WFF.

"D. prolifera 'WFF'"

What's the top layer you use for your tuberous?

A few new shots to add! It's been overcast and rainy again so pardon the quality.. hard to get decent focus and depth.

Someone mentioned the D. peltata was reminiscent of a vft.. so here you go!
I recently fed this one with some bits of bloodworms and when the piece is large enough the whole leaf will fold up like a VFT trap.

More D. macrophylla breaking out. This one is var. monantha

And one of my favorites is up and about now also.
D. lowriei

a couple quick updates..

Can't get enough of this D. erythrorhiza ssp. squamosa (Albany Hwy)

D. menziesii ssp. menziesii done flowering and ready to grow!

D. rupicola

Rupicola... That's a new one for me! It looks quite small, does it stay that small?

I was formerly considered a subspecies of D. stolonifera. So far if i had to compare the two of them they have never grown very tall. But this is the second year of growth for me. need to see what happens over time as tubers get older and more established. Both stolonifera and rupicola have never gotten anywhere near as tall as D. peltata but who knows

Forgot to make a note. All of them are being grown in 1 gallon or #1 nursery pots. Many seem to need a certain soil depth to do well over a long period of time. Have seen them put down a root at the end of the growing season to pull the tubers down to the "right" level and that root was working its way out of the drain holes of the pot.

D. stolonifera

they start out like this when the stem breaks through the soil

develop buds

then branch out and make stems with carnivorous leaves

Flowering

Drosera witterkeri

Drosera menziesii ssp. menziesii

 

[mass]

LOVE the stolonifera.
Can't wait for my menziesii ssp. menziesii to get the size of yours. Finally seeing more than one stalk in the pot though!

 

[Dexenthes]

Ahhh! Someday I will live somewhere where I could ever grow these things!
