Hi all,

the last few weeks several of my D. graomogolensis, D. ascendens and D. camporupestris have been in flower.
The colouration of the flowers is very similar but there are small differences in the case of D. graomogolensis; some of them have "stripes" and one is even nearly white in comparison to the others.
All the plants are forming stems, especially D. graomogolensis (a few of them have 10cm stems).

a nearly white coloured flower, last year the flowers of this plant have had the same colouration. This flower is from the plant shown above.

I hope you like them.

Very beautiful! Very nice plants Daniel
I have just one question: how do you recognize Drosera graomogolensis from Drosera ascendens just from vegetative apparatus?

Aymeric

Great plants and pictures Daniel. As usual, your plants look very well grown.
I wish some day my seedlings of D.camporupestris and D.graomogolensis look as good as your adult plants.

Happy growing,

Sebastian

Many thanks Aymeric and Sebastian.

Sebastian, good to hear that they have germinated.
For sure one day your plants will also look great but they are not the fastest growers.

Aymeric, you are right, sometimes it´s really difficult to recognize them.
As you can see the rosettes of D. graomogolensis can also look a little bit different (leafshape and diameter), but the leaves are alway hairy from below.
I´m growing a lot of D. ascendens from several locations (10 locations) and i must say that the variation in this species is really big, some of them are even relatively similar to D. graomogolensis. But not all these forms are hairy from below.

So it´s not really easy, but in my opinion D. graomogolensis has much more unrolled leafes in the center of the rosettes and they are forming much faster huge stems.

Also the flower scapes (and the sepals) seem to be much more glandular in D. graomogolensis and the flowers are not selfing automatically.

But for sure Fernando could explain it much better.

Best regards,

Dani

Beautiful!!!

Hi Daniel,

Your plants look fantastic! How old is your graomogolensis?

All the best,

Anderson

Many thanks again.

Anderson, sorry for the delay but i´ve not been at home the last few days.
I don´t remember exactely but the biggest plants are at least about 8-9 years old.

Best regards,

Dani

Great shots!

That is quite Old! I wonder how long they can live in nature...


Here is a pic of few seedlings these days

Hi Anderson,

yes, my plants have formed big stems (up to 10cm) and from time to time a plant is "dying" but it´s forming new growing points at the side of the stems so in fact they continue to grow.

Nice plants you have there, i´m very happy to see that they are growing so good and fast.

Best regards,

Dani

Hi Dani,

I like a lot these pictures, your plants are very beauty and healthy.

My best regards.

Carlos.
