  1. Fascinating read. I didn’t realise there was such hybridisation, they surely are resilient little plants able to adapt readily to their habitats.

    my plants share similarities to Drosera spatulata var. bakoensis also but I’m guessing that particular plant is a lot less common amongst growers than tokaiensis 

  2. Hi, I’m Shane and have been interested in CP since a child but only serious about them since the first lockdown.

    having managed to get my shop brought generic flytrap through the winter, I decided to buy some mixed drosera seed and was rewarded with several varieties.
    I have now learnt we have UK natives so I’m very keen to grow these and perhaps build a bog garden (keen gardener).

    Hoping to have a greenhouse gifted to me this year and intend on expanding my collection and learning a lot more about how to care for these plants.

    ive just germinated some D burmannii and don’t think it’ll be long before I get some of those cephalotus, which look particularly nice.

    I shall have a good read through the threads now. Thanks

     

     

  3. Hello, I brought a mixed seed pack of drosera a year ago to start off my new hobby. In the mixed seed list, it listed that it included seed from D burkeana, burmannii and spatulata.

    I have been assuming these are all spatulata as that seems to be more common?

    The top left drosera in the photo is especially interesting to me as I think it may be a different species to the rest of them. It doesn’t produce much dew and it grows much faster and bigger than the rest of the plants.

    perhaps they are hybrids of spatulata.

     

    I would be very keen on any insight you could give me on the fascinating plants

    Thank you for looking in
