Maybe d.nitidula spp. omissa? Atleast it looks like the plant I have under that name.

Lovely photos. What camera do you use? Why and how do you tattoo your plant?

Drosera roseana

Looks like toimemes "coquillage" to me. Check out this earlier post: some vft picts

Hello. Here are some pics of my plants taken today. Sorry its a bit higgledy piggledy, having a few problems with the photo hosting site. So you have to click for a larger picture. D. rotundifolia Type C Huntingdon Cross Dartmoor & D. binata 'multifida var extrema' Pygmy drosera From left to right - ericksoniae pulchella surounded by roseana / occidentalis pulchella flowers / nitidula spp omissa / scorpiodes I love my D. regia! Some utrics, a two year old dionea and a D. aliciae Some more pygmys From left to right - More nitidula spp. omissa / occidentalis pulchella From left to right - D. aliciae, D. dielsiana, D. spatulata 'tamllin' Hope you like them

Found this Article while browsing. Factual, amusing or just ?

Hello. I sowed these in spring after winning an auction (thankyou gardenofeden). This is one season in the life of D. regia “stocky, wide leaved Reading clone crossed with a long leaved German origin plant”. April: June: August: October: January I think the plants seem happy, but am a little unsure about the winter procedings for it. I have read that a lot of people have found it difficult keeping plants alive from seed, particulary during the winter months. I currently grow my plants on a south facing windowsill in summer, then move plants outdoors for winter. Will the regia seedlings survive in an unheated greenhouse, or can you skip the first years dormancy as you can with VFT seedlings? Thankyou. Rob

This is topical for me at the moment. I was removing dead growth from a big pot of typicals yesturday when i noticed one had just started sending out shock traps. On closer inspection i was able to remove some brown mushy pieces of rhizome. Is this the time to unpot completely, remove all brown rhizome, divide and save what I can of the other plants? Im not sure if its the best time to do this so late in the season. Needless to say im not going to water it again untill it drys up a fair bit. Any advice?

Yikes! Amazing plants...and some really ugly ones (but still very impressive). To my eye "Coquillage" looks really healthy and stable. How wide spread is this among collections?

Yes, I used Scotts 'ready to use' 800ml spray. um...sorry, you lost me when you said 'bromopropylate'

Amar - The damage on the traps look very similar to my red spider mite infected plants. To help you find the critters, try paying close atention to the new traps that are emerging from the centre of the plant, I found more spider mites seemed to congregate there. They look like tiny tiny red specks, but you can see them with the naked eye. Thankyou for this advice. I have previously tried drowning plants and using provado, but both were inaffective. However, bug clear gun seems to have done the trick, finally!...I was beginning to despair.

So I let two of my VFT's flower this year as an experiment as I had never seen flowers in the flesh before. So here is a pic of a ripened dionea seed pod for you to show what to look out for: And I apologise for hijacking this thread, but the two plants I let flower were both devisions of the same plant. I sowed a handful of these seeds a week or two ago on milled sphagnum and nothing has germinated yet. Is it possible these seeds are not viable, due to both plants being genetically the same?

Yes, this is it. And these stalks must the Sporophytes i presume. Is this fine to be left in the pot, and do i know have spores in all adjacent pots?

Hello, am not sure if this is the correct place to post this? but here goes. I have a number of weird looking things growing in a pot of U.bisquamata betty's bay. They are small black headed pods growing on thin white/translucent stalks 2 or 3 inches tall. When they open the pods turn into a small cross. I know this isnt a very good description, but they are quite hard to describe, and i cant find my camera. I think they may be the moss sending up spore pods or some sort of fungus. Does anyone hazard a guess to what they might be? And should i be pulling them off or leaving them? Thanks

WOW. Those flowers look amazing...even if their not supposed to look like that.
