Greg Allan Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 A few of my Sarracenia that are still looking reasonable: S leucophylla, Gulf Breeze A whiter form of S leucophylla S flava 'Claret' S stevensii- I don't know whey this is maligned. I think it's a particularly attractive plant Some heliamphora. These are just approaching their prime for the year- they do best for me in the winter when it's cool: H nutans H minor H neblinae H pulchella 'Chimanta' I don't grow many Utrics, but I U dichotoma is an impressive little plant: Some petiolaris-complex Drosera: D fulva D broomensis 'Coulomb Point, 60km North of Broome, Kimberley' D ordensis D kenneallyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Allan Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) continued: D dilatato-petiolaris 'Darwin River, NT' D caduca Some pygmy Drosera: D scorpiodes D sewelliae D callistos 'Brookton' D lasiantha Drosera hamiltonii- hopefully a cold winter in the greenhouse will encourage it to flower next year Drosophyllum- a young plant Finally, a couple of Byblis: B lamellata 'Eneabba'- trhe ability to sprout from aerial stems like this is one of the features that sets this species apart from Byblis gigantea B liniflora '100cm, Northern Territory'. I love this form- it is far more vigorous than the typical form, as evidenced by the two plants in this photo which have both produced multiple heads.

jimfoxy Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I echo Iggy, lovely display and some really great shots. I've never seen D. caduca before - I guess that is its dormant form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarra100 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Great pics. Thank you. Gerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 continued:Drosera hamiltonii- hopefully a cold winter in the greenhouse will encourage it to flower next year don't bet on it! The only time I have seen this flower was after a WARM winter (not my plant). Great plants though, cute little H.minor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aidan Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 S stevensii- I don't know whey this is maligned. I think it's a particularly attractive plant It's easy to tell you're not a real Sarracenia grower... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passievrucht Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 wow, I like your Heliamphora also very nice Drosera, especially your Lasiantha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheila Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I echo Iggy, lovely display and some really great shots. I've never seen D. caduca before - I guess that is its dormant form? D. caduca only produces carnivorous leaves in its early stages. Nice photos Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Allan Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Thanks for all of the comments. D caduca, despite its often wretched appearance, fascinates me. As Shelia says, it does produce carnivorous leaves when in early growth. Maybe, in evolutionary terms, it is abandoning carnivory. On the other hand, I have read somewhere that it is submerged for part of the year, so perhaps the phase that my plant is currently in occurs in the wild when the water levels make sticky traps useless. When dormant, it disappears to an underground 'bulb', just like D falconeri, so it is not dormant yet. As for the hamiltonii, maybe I will try overwintering it in my room-temperature unheated terrarium, instead of the greenhouse. Aidan- I'm not a proper Sarracenia grower, but I am on the way! What is so objectionable about stevensii, though? Cheers, Greg Edited October 9, 2007 by Greg Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockhom Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hey, i missed that post :o ! Great picture and plants Greg! That Helimphora nutans is amazing! Er... i like that "Stevensii "thing too but... then again, what can you expect from a nep grower? Friendly, François. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
