Hi,

the last tuberous Drosera i would like to show you are members of the D. erythrorhiza-complex. I am not sure if i got the subsp. right in every case. For me it's alomst impossible to add a subspecies to every plant. The plants are in some cases growing closely together with a mix of almost all possible colors and leaf shapes. I really wonder if the concept of the subspecies is appropriate for these plants. But, take a look yourself.

Hi again,

I must admit I rarely like pictures of D. erythrorhiza in the wild because the plants often look so dirty. But luckily you have found some nicely CLEAN specimens!

Errr....did I spot a nice lil bug on the first "Collina" image?! It wears a very effective camouflage! ;o)


Cheers and thank you for these many and breath taking pictures

Beautiful plants!

Hi,

Andreas, i can't see a bug on the first collina picture. I just looked at it in full resolution and could not see anything. In fact, we have found our first bugs after about one and a half week only to see on pictures at home, that there were already some on plants we found on day two! So much for paying attention to little things ;)

Hi Christian,

I meant this one inside the circle:



As I mentioned "he" wears a very good camouflage.

Ah, perhaps I should have mentioned I meant the first D. erythrorhiza ssp. collina image in your upper post (not the second).


Greetings

Hi Chistian,

is a nice species. I did not know were so subspecies.
How was the soil where the plants grow?

Regards.

D. erythrorhiza ssp. collina and squamosa are incredible beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I just wish the really exciting tuberous sundew species were a little easier to grow...
