Brilliant. Your well considered shots really give a good idea of the local conditions. Love the Cephalotus.

Thanks for posting.

Very nice Christian. Number 3 looks as though it may be D. neesii ssp. neesii. Where was the photo taken? Most of the other shots seem to be from Albany north to the Stirling Range?

Hi Sean,

the picture in question has been taken in the Broke Inlet. There were quite a lot of them growing at that place, we got the time right (just before sunset) and so the plants glistened really nicely! There's nothing better than Drosera hit by the rest of the daylight ;)

You are right, some of the pictures have been taken in the Stirling Range as well as in the area around Walpole to Albany. I will post some better described pictures some time later.

Hi Carlos,

there have been fields and fields of U. multifida ;) Saddly this nice Utricularia is still rare in cultivation. It must have something to do with it being an annual. At least in the right part of WA it is very common.

Gorgeous photos!

Love the gigantea,erythrorhiza, cepha especially but all are great. Looks like a variety of habitats in terms of ground medium. Thanks for sharing.
