I'm looking for these sundews, if anyone has seeds or plants or can tell me where to get them to contact me:

Drosera 'Rhodesian Beauty' (W.Dawnstar)

Comments: Registered 30. 12. 2004 (JS).Described in Carnivorous Plant Newsletter' V.33, No.3 (Sept. 2004), apparently the same plant as D. sp."Rhodesia" above. Andreas Fleischmann says: falls within the natural variation of D. natalensis. Unfortunately, there's a member of the D. madagascariensis aggregate called D. sp. "Rhodesia" in cultivation as well.

Drosera 'Nagamoto' (Kusakabe)

Parents: [((linearis x rotundifolia) x spatulata)/(linearis x rotundifolia) x (rotundifolia x spatulata)]

I have to ask; what makes D.rotundifolia 'Charles Darwin' different than the typical?

[ObiplantsKenobi]

good, this is the information given by the ICPS, as I think is something bigger than normal is a hybrid, or is the same as the typical? if someone can say, thanks

Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.35:68 (2006)

+ "Although D. rotundifolia may not be as clearly variable as Darwin's

+ finches, there are certainly different ecotypes to be found. [Drosera '

+ Charles Darwin ' {I.Snyder}] was created by hybridizing two different

+ parent forms of [Drosera rotundifolia {L.}] naturally found in

+ California which I had originally collected in July, 1997. One parent

+ (from Gasquet, Del Norte Co.; a lowland site) had a weak dormancy

+ requirement, while the other was a larger plant (Willow Lake, N. Plumas

+ CO.; a highland site). I had been cross pollinating these in an attempt

+ to develop a plant more desirable for cultivation; in October 2001 I

+ germinated a plant that exceeded all my expectations. Cultivate

+ [Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' {I.Snyder}] as you would the tropical form

+ of [Drosera anglica {Huds.}] from Hawaii. Like the Hawaiian plant,

+ [Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' {I.Snyder}] grows continuously under typical

+ indoor terrarium cultivation. Grown outdoors in temperate regions the

+ plant will produce a protective winter bud as normal for [Drosera

+ rotundifolia {L.}]. [Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' {I.Snyder}] seed is

+ vigorous and viable, and germinates readily without a cold

+ stratification period. In fact, if the seed is not promptly harvested

+ and dried it often germinates while still in the seed capsule and then

+ rots. While this makes it easy to sow the already germinating

+ seedlings, it complicates the procedure of harvesting seed for storage.

+ Plants flower readily without having to enter a dormancy period first.

+ [Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' {I.Snyder}] has proven superior in

+ cultivation to all known natural forms. In many growth trials, growers

+ have remarked that it performs especially well indoors. Cultivation is

+ easy via leaf cuttings. Furthermore, the cultivar's three hallmark

+ traits, seed germination without cold stratification, year-round growth

+ indoors, and ability to flower without having first gone through a

+ dormancy period, are also preserved when the plant is propagated by

+ seed, so the cultivar is available through the ICPS Seed bank."

Standard: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.35:69 (2006)

Propagation: possible by seed

Etymology: after Charles Darwin, who devoted most of his book "Insectivorous Plants" to [Drosera rotundifolia {L.}]

update.. anyone can't help me?

Here is a link to the D. 'Charles Darwin' article in CPN

http://www.carnivorousplants.org/cpn/Speci..._69.html#darwin

[droseraman]

That is certainly a nice want-list! Unfortunately I can't help you out, since I live in the US

I also have a little blurb about my experiences/woes with this beautiful cultivar here: http://www.growsundews.com/sundews/rotundi...les_darwin.html but unfortunately, I do not have any spares at the moment (almost lost all of my D. 'Charles Darwin' two years ago, and I've explained what happened in the link under the dormancy section)

there should be several hundred 'Martson Dragon' knocking around the forum with all the roots I distributed not so long ago.....
