I am afraid that only way for propagation will be roort cuttings

Here is a pictures both flowers of D. regia for comparison and I add detais of anthers, where is visible that there is no pollen :(. Yesterday was opened two white flowers and today is flowering only one. The finished flower wither but no pollen release. The pollen which was visible on my first picture was tranfered from pink flowered plants by the pollination. Enjoy it :)

Hello, I have question about pollination white flowered Drosera regia. My friend lended me this plant because my pink flower Drosera regia are all flowering now. I supposed I will collect the pollen from white flower plants but it look like these plants not produce the pollen. Have somebody any experience with these plants. Today I pollinate white flowers with pollen from pink plants because stigmas look like ready. Regards Vaclav

Hi all, I would like to share my personal victory with Drosera rechingeri. I bought the gemmae from Mr. Lowrie two years ago and I started grow about 20 young plants. Here is a picture 3 months old plant After 2 years I grow last 2 plants . But here is my VICTORY - I will harvest 2 gemmae Enjoy it !

Hi, I wrote same speculation in czech forum. But I make fast comparison D. lasiantha and D. gibsonii Here you are... hairy inflorescence of D. lasiantha and glandular of D. gibsonii is easy visible: Next different, which is not visible is D. lasintha mostly flower the second year from sowing and D. gibsonii flower the first year in my collection. I am preparing for analysis of stipules under microscope and I will take the pictures, so then you could find the difference alone :). Regards

Hi Dieter, I can not say, if it is ok or not. I have no comparison. But I check the pictures from http://www.cpphotofinder.com/drosera-gibsonii-56.html and there is some pictures of the plants in flower and inflorescences is not so long. I try to say my plant would be ok :) Pictures for comparison is here: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpp...onii_towers.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpp...onii_flower.jpg I grow my plants under fluorescent lamp to the present day, maybe the had lot of light so inflorescences are more compact.

Hi, here is some pictures of Drosera gibsonii from my collection. All pictures you can see on http://rosnatky.cz/gibsonii.html Regards

Hi, I made some pictures of my Drosera gibsonii last week. Here you are Plants look like very similar Drosera lasiantha, I am very curious for the flowers. I will add more pictures, you can find them on http://rosnatky.cz/gibsonii.html Regards

It look like very fine. Are you using DS18B20 from Dallas? What costs this thermometer if you DIY? I made easy thermometer with DS18B20, it comunicate via RS232 with PC. I is very fine, but PC must be turn on ... Regards Vaclav

Hi all, here you are some new pictures of my pygmies D. leucoblasta D. pedicellaris - I am waiting for day D - so here is flower bud and the plant D. eneabba - unusual flower with tentacules More pictures of D. enneaba is here And here is list of pygmies I have photographed.

Hello Dieter, very very fine pictures and I am very happy you are sharing with us. It is the first time I could see the diferent between plants with collecting data. You have new digital photocamera, isn't it? This pictures are beautiful and clear. Regards Vaclav

Hi Jim, it is very old species described by J.E. Planchon in 1848, more pictures is here regards Vaclav

Daniel, my web is about pics at this moment, but I hope I will translate in future. The text is base information about pygmies for the novice. There is no news :).

Hi Jim, my avatar is Drosera barbigera, one of my favourite pygmy Drosera. This plant will flower in 2 or 3 weeks.

Hallo, it time for the next macro :) The second premiere of my pygmies - Drosera grievei And if you want more pics go here Regards Vaclav

My Drosera citrina start flower 2 days ago. Here is some pictures. Enjoy it. All the pictures of Drosera citrina are here Visit My Website Regards Vaclav

It is flower of Drosera barbigera (so Seandew is right). It is flowering last week and it is my favourite. I have no Drosera callistos and I try to get it to my collection. Vaclav

Does it mean the stem has died at its bottom, broken away? This is the first time I hear of that! But what you´ve reported makes sense when the plant is only standing on its stilt roots. Strangely I first comprehended the stilt roots wouldn´t touch the ground! In that case the plant would have to hover...höhöhö! You can see the lower part of stem Belinda´s D. lasiantha. The stem is dry and its functionality is very limited. The main function is on the stilt roots now. My friend try to cut old dried stem and replant upper new plant (D. scorpioides), but the plant died. But my donor of pygmies told me: when you will be replant the pygmies cut all dried leafes and put the plant lower to the substrate. I dont like this method, but it is function. Bye Vaclav Lenk

Hi Andreas, I take some photos for friend which is writting about pests of carnivorous plant. adult Scira http://www.sweb.cz/sasosfm3a/sciara.jpg larva of Sciara http://www.sweb.cz/sasosfm3a/sciara_larva.jpg

Hi Andreas, this isolation is good in hot summer whem pygmies are dormant. D. scorpioides make the stipule bud, which is white. D. scorpioides is growing on place covered silica sand, it is white too. All white things reflect sun shining and it is the way they not overheating. of course it is true. But when you watch old plants you will find the stem is not in contact with substrate and plant is standind on roots. It is only one contact between soil and the plant. I think it could be same in D. lasiantha. Replanting pygmies for Andreas: You can not frighten me :), I replant all my pygmies, because I got them as a present as adult plant 2 years ago, it was on the end of summer. D. enodes, pulchella Orange flower, platystigma, scorpioides, dichrosepala, mannii, spilos. It was not the best time for replanting and the plants were not extract from substrate careful. After 3 months died D. scorpioides, enodes and most of pulchella and platystigma. D. platystigma suprised me, because I cut off some leafs, when I did see, they strarted die. 3 months later I found small plants growing in centre of leaf. Next year I received new species and some of died species (in May 2005). Enodes, pygmaea, echinoblastus, occidentalis, paleacea, roseana, pulchella pink flower, barbigera. All these species nice grow to today. This replanting was not 100% succesful of course, but I thing it could be 60-90%. And one my experience with D. pulchella. They don´t like Sciara. The larvas of Sciara like pulchella plant and they eat them all in very short time. I´m sorry for my grammar :/ Vaclav

Hi Belinda, I have some fresh experience with replanting of pygmies. I replant D. mannii 2 years old, D. echinoblastus and D. enodes . If you are careful and don't break 1 or 2 thin root then there is no problem. When the pygmies stop produced gemmae and strarting grow (now - in central Europe) it is the best time for replanting. I have one bad experience with D. scorpioides which I replanted in autumn and I broken some roots - all died. And your D. lasiantha produce "prop roots" because they make isolation between the plant and hot surface of Earth in your Australian summer. This strategy use D. scorpioides. Vaclav
