Amar Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hello Folks, could this be a flower forming on my D.Paradoxa ? Im quite chuffed when i can get the conditions right so my Drosera are this happy ! :dancing: that's how mine looked too, a fuzzy thing, that eventually unravels and produces light-pink flowers. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingman Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Don't want to burst your enthusiastic bubble, but petiolaris group flowers are nothing to exciting. They only open for a few hours each day, and are pretty plain. Oh well, still exciting i guess... Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aidan Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I expect the plant is the large Carniflora clone. In which case, once it starts flowering, it just keeps on going. I'm constantly cutting them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sthomas048 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hello Aidan, would you say that after i appreciate this flower, in the future i should chop most of them off because otherwise il be overun with Paradoxa in all my pots ? I hear stories about Utrics invasion tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aidan Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Petiolaris complex plants are generally self-sterile and so the plant won't set seed. Unless I do want seed, I prefer the plant to put its effort into growth rather than flowering. The Carniflora clone can easily grow eight or ten flower spikes at any one time.

sthomas048 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Oh okay, i dont know much about my Drosera. Eight or ten flower spikes ? Woah. :o What Drosera are reckoned to have the nicest flowers then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimscott Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Unless it was my imagination, a colony of D. paradoxas, started from seeds, seemed to have perpetuated themselves from the roots. I would give them away and their number didn't diminish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheila Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think you have to add regia and hamiltonii flowers to that list of best flowers. http://www.cpuk.org/~vicbrown/images/Drose...egiaflowera.jpg http://www.plantarara.com/carnivoren_galer...iltonii%202.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sthomas048 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Wow. Some absoloute crackers in there. I am particularly taken with the D. Citrina and D. Leioblasta flowering. They are quite rare types it seems ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
