    Drosera glanduligera

    Drosera glanduigera is winter annual related to tuberous sundews. In the wild they grow in full sun on varieties of soils from nearly pure mica to heavy clayey soils. I have grown them successfully before. Use a large pot with a 6 parts sand to 4 parts peat and grow them in full sun. Here in South Australia I grew them outdoors.
  2. methyl bromine is fatal to all Drosera, Dionaea and other CPs. The only safe way to get live plants in is through tissue culture vials.
  3. I believe the Japanese Carnivorous Plants Society maybe the oldest. It was formed in 1948. Australian Carnivorous Plants Society was formally estabished in 1983.
  4. Yes, you fella over in WA been getting less rain than us here in SA. That is scary thought.
  5. The photo shown is what we call the Crimson Rosella Platycercus elegans. I saw a couple today while working flying through the gums.
  6. I would wait until late summer since cistiflora is a winter grower.
  7. You can also layer the leaves on peat and sand or sphagnum moss. binata do this naturally in some locations.
  8. I live in Adelaide, South Australia. Still waiting for rain.
  9. I had problems with 'freak' with self pollination. It will cross with other clone lines. As a plant it is slow grower and seem to set back the quickest when conditions change.
  10. I had a macrantha ssp macrantha do this once. I thought I had lost the plants and dug up the potting mix to reuse and found a fat heathly tuber. Replanted and the plant is still with me. This happen a few years ago.
  11. It could be a nitidula hybrid, maybe with pulchella from the shape of the leaf. I not sure, the colour of the plant and flower are bit different from my plants.

    Mendel boxes are good for working with single a gene. When working with whole chromosomes things get messy. There events such a recombination where genes are swapped around between the chromosomes. Also natural section will elimate seedling with unfit genes for the conditions they are growing. So will happen you will get around 50% that are straight out hybrids between the two parent with other 50% looking more like one or the other parent but will still carry some genes from the other parent even if they are not express in the plant. Even if you back cross with a pure species for several generations the resutling plant would still carry a few genes from the other species. This would happen in the wild on occasion thus increase genetic variablity.
  13. Thank you for showing the one of the main difference between D. auriculata and D. peltata, the actual shape of the leaf.
