CHNANOG Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) It look like D. spatulata Regards Edited August 26, 2009 by CHNANOG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droseraman Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) Yes, I agree that this is a form of D. spatulata and NOT D. rubripetala. It is most likely D. spatulata var. lovellae or D. spatulata 'Tamlin', and it will turn bright red if it is given more light. However, your plants look spectacular as they are, so don't worry about changing anything. Here's an example of a form of D. spatulata for you to compare with: link to larger file: http://www.growsundews.com/sundews/spatula...er_Island-1.JPG Edited August 28, 2009 by droseraman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.J.Treasure Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I agree - this is very likely to be D.lovellae or rather D.spatulata var. lovellae. Provide it with a bit more light and it will turn completely red - beautiful plant Just found an old pic of mine (not as red as it is now but you can compare the leaves): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Wozny Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Thanks for all comments. I was wrote to source of this seed and here is the explain : D. rubripetala is a sinonym of D. cistiflora, I know it, but in the last years in Europe this name was used to rename this plant, this is the answer from Andy to this question in 22/4/08: No, the D.rubripetala that is circulating in Eastern Europe is not D.cistiflora. They are very different sps. The D.rubripetala that I have purchased from Europe is more like a D.venusta X red spathulata hybrid - very different from D.cistiflora which is very erect and more beautiful!! There is a piture of my D.rubripetala on my website under. shop, seeds, sundews. So in this case should I use this name for this plant or no :-) ? I don't like to grow plants with no Id Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Hi, you should use D. spatulata for your plants. Your plant has nothing to do with either D. cistiflora or D. rubripetala. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I think the question is: is it a D.venusta X red spatulata hybrid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Wozny Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) :-) I growing a few forms of d. spatutala and in my opinion this one had longest leafs - it's similary to d. oblanceolata that I growing too. One of the plant start now to flowering, so in a week or two I will se the flower to check them better. I will post info when I will had something new. Stephen you are right, If this is a hybrid can we check this ?, is there anyone who grows this one too ?

gardenofeden Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 well it does seem to me to have a slight "ice-cream spoon" shape leaf characteristic of venusta/coccicaulis. Flowers will be helpful I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Wozny Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hi All At last I found some time to update this topic. As You see plants was colored in strong light. It was flowered , but not fully opened – see flower stalk – flower was white and selfed. I was harvested lots of seeds. The main problem is that this one is very huge in compare with other four different locations spatulatas. It has erected growing leafs and this is very different from those rosette shape of spatulata – see comparison with d. Spatulata Lantau Island. Enjoy with the pictures, any news comments will be welcome. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 you may never be sure what it is, very attractive plant though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel O. Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi Marek, in my eyes it´s D. spatulata, perhaps it could be D. spatulata var. lovellae, the flower colour would match, but it´s really hard to say. Best regards, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drosera5150 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hello, In my opinion, your plants are something other than just typical D. spatulata-complex plants. Now that I've seen them hold their elongated "boat-paddle" petioles even after being grown in stronger light. My guess would be some sort of Drosera hybrid...looks like you have some diversity amongst seedlings occurring as well. Happy Growing, Brian.
