Following is a photo I recently took of a Drosera capillaris plant whose parents originated in the same location as Drosera 'Emerald's Envy'.
As soon as I have the opportunity to take a current photo of Drosera 'Emerald's Envy', I shall post a follow-up for comparison. |

That's a lovely compact form of the species.

Here is an image of a young plant of Drosera 'Emerald's Envy', rapidly approaching flowering size:
The morphology of these two, "sister" plants, other than the pigmentation of the leaves, petioles, glands, and tentacles, is nearly identical. I use the term, "sister", because both parents were derived from the same population, there in Pensacola, Florida. The Drosera 'Emerald's Envy' was discovered as a small colony at the base of a tuft of grass (among many), with many other, normal colored plants all around, growing on the surface of dark, peaty, mud. The normal colored plants blended in to the mud, except for the reddish sparkle of their dew, while Drosera 'Emerald's Envy' was an obvious "stand out" against the dark mud. As Sean Spence, mentioned an attractive and compact rosette. |

Ever since I saw my first Drosera capillaris in the wild, I've been partial to this somewhat variable species. They almost always occur where other CP grow and it always bothered me to realize that I couldn't walk in the field to observe other CP, without stepping on many hundreds or maybe thousands of these charming little plants, in order to access the other CP.

would it be possible to take a pic of these 2 side by side, in the same lighting?
better yet would be a comparison between the 2 of them both grown from seed, side by side, under the exact same conditions. m |

I have some small seedlings, just sprouting, of each. I will plant a few together in the same pots. Once they grow up to blooming size, I will photograph them and add them to this thread.
BTW, these were grown and photographed in the same lighting and conditions, but growing in the same pots should be even better. |
