christerb Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hi, It is photo time again, first some group pics and then some individual plants. D. admirabilis (Palmiet River) D. paleacea ssp. paleacea D. burmanni (Chi Ma Wan, Hong Kong) same as above about to flower - D. burkeana (Johannesburg) and finally my N. campanulata has decided to flower again.

JanW Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Very beautiful and technically perfect pictures. But I doubt the ID of the first picture, something is wrong...thats not D. admirabilis, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binataboy Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Nice pics, the admirabilis does look a bit "thin" to me :? The burkeana is very nice, do you ever get seed from this plant? I have a plant grown from wild collected seed (simply labled "RSA") and am interested in comparing seed... I should add that I am more than happy to swap for something.

christerb Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi and thanks, Actually I have been a little curious about my D. admirabilis thinking they look a bit like D. aliciae. The photos of D. admirabilis that I have seen have usually shown a small and rather compact plant with wide leaves. I got the seed from a well known forum member which I believe keep good track on his plants, but of course they could have been mislabelled somehow. Below I have included an old and rather poor pic of one of the plants where it looks more like what I would consider to be D. admirabilis. I have considered that the difference might be because of my growing conditions, and that more light would produce a smaller and more compact plant, but I don't know. If my plant indeed is the plant which has been circulated in the hobby under the name D. admirabilis "Palmiet River" then I will personally have to rethink if I should even consider D. admirabilis as a separate species. Yes, I am aware that the controversy (synonym or not) is between D. admirabilis/D. cuneifolia, but if my growing conditions can through a plant that looks like D. aliciae then I don't know what to believe anymore. Maybe when they flower I'll know better what they are. George, I will PM you regarding the D. burkeana. Regards, Christer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanW Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 In fact my first thought was D. aliciae, too. for comparison...: http://www.cpuk.org/~vicbrown/images/Drose...dmirabilis2.jpg http://www.utricularia.net/drosera/admirabilis1.htm Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
