D. rubripetala ?

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:

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 :tu:

:-) 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 ?

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

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.
