manders Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 actually i never noticed thos white seedlings, i was looking at the brown things that look like sarracenia seeds. Either, i dont think they are drosera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxman Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Looks like sarracenia to me, too. Drosera capensis seeds are fine and black as I remember. Seedlings seem to pop up everywhere in my collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyCarnivore Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Oh, now that I look again, I see the brown seeds too. Those look like sarracenia seeds. I still dont know about those white ones though...Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 As others have said, they are definitely not capensis. D. capensis seeds are very fine and thin, lightweight black seeds.. almost thread-like, resembling iron filings or fine pencil graphite sharpenings. example (not my pic, reference only)... It does look like you have some Sarracenia seeds there (the pale orange/brown ones) but I have no idea what those sprouting white seeds are! They are no carnivorous genus I know of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezza Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I bought seeds from Ebay,supposedly Drosera,looks like I got duped!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyCarnivore Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Edit: was looking at a different picture. Nevermind But yeah. Drosera seeds are very very small. Those seeds that you have with those white things, are sarracenia seeds. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezza Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Here they are! is it Pesto time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 14 hours ago, Ezza said: Here they are! is it Pesto time? Ha, sorry to say they are definitely not Drosera or Sarracenia, certainly not even a carnivorous genus! Does look remarkably like basil but I wouldn't risk ingesting something I didn't know. Incidentally, do the leaves have an aroma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
