Hi everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that a couple of my Drosera arenicola (Duida) are now flowering.  I grew these from seed.  Here are 2 photos:

Here's another photo of a redder plant growing closer to the lights:

And here's a photo of something I received labelled arenicola years ago
which certainly is NOT arenicola:

(NOT arenicola!!) http://sundewgrower....s/arenicola.jpg  (NOT
arenicola!!)

As of now, true Drosera arenicola is extremely rare in cultivation.  I think
I only known 1 other person who has true arenicola - most of the plants I've seen in collections labelled arenicola are NOT arenicola and aren't even from S.America.  If you have plants labelled arenicola, now would be a good time to compare it to these pictures.  I'd like to hear from anyone else who has true arenicola.  I expect to offer plants of this for trade in the not to distant future, after I've taken care of my prior CP commitments.

Thanks to the friend who generously provided me with this material (!) and to Pete Thiel for the web hosting and tech support.

Hi, Matt

Great looking species, and well done with the flowering I hope you get plenty of seed from them to spread around.

Hi matt,just request you to update your web site's photos :mrgreen:  as I am very interested in seeing what they are look like especially the “D.sp” of your growlist.

Hi Rex,
My website, including photos and growlist, are way out of date - I unfortunately haven't got the time to update it now, sorry!   But if you want to add 1 or 2 more days on to my week, I may be able to find the time!! ;)
