Matthias Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hello, here are some photos of D. ascendens from different locations. The variability of this species is very interesting... D. ascendens {Bandeira Peak} D. ascendens {Ribeirao Pires} D. ascendens {Itararé, Sao Paulo, Brazil} Best regards, Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Allan Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Incredible plants. Any South American sundews that I buy die within a few weeks. I'm not sure why, but when I can think of another variable to change, I'l try again, after having seen your photos. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthias Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thank you all for the nice comments. This species is also one of my favourite plants. Very nice photos!!!!Only a question: is it a Temperate sundew? I grow Drosera ascendens at a mimimum temperature of 10 °C at night in winter. I have never tried lower temperatures. Great shots!However...which is the difference between D.Ascendens and D.Villosa? :?: I just found the topic where Fernando describes the difference between D. ascendens and D. villosa => http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/viewtopic.p...ghlight=villosa Best regards, Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Matthias, very nice pictures of one of my favorite species! I grow Drosera ascendens at a mimimum temperature of 10 °C at night in winter. I have never tried lower temperatures. Some of my plants survived a minimum night temperature of about 5°C the last two years. Btw, did the plants from Ribeirao Pires ever flower for you? While all my other forms are easy growers and most of them have already flowered, i find this form rather hard to cultivate. The plants regularly die back from time to time and recover from the roots sometime later. I have no idea , what triggers this behaviour. My other forms do not show this strange growth cycle.
