jimscott Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Mark.ca could say for sure but I think that #18 is D. helodes: #19 could be a leioblastus: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Spence Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) 14 = D. pycnoblasta. The forms that I saw near Lake King all had pure white flowers. I wonder which is the more common in nature? 12= D. helodes. 5= D. sargentii? 3= D. androsacea Edited May 8, 2010 by Sean Spence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.ca Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Well...seeing the plant it makes a lot of difference. I never seen a pycnoblasta flower like that. I must admit i'm a bit surprised by your 12 and 5 choices, Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Spence Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 The flower colour of 12 is very much like the form of D. helodes commonly grown down here. Number 5 is just a guess as to be honest, I've never really had a good look at the flowers of sargentii- they are not that impressive.

jp Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 hi it's good for the response 3, D.androsacea marius says: Well...seeing the plant it makes a lot of difference. I never seen a pycnoblasta flower like that. It's my "normal form" the other form i have is a rose flower form n° 10 My "normal" form is very close from the form describe in the Lowrie book (canivorous plants of Australia volume 2) the 12 number is D.helodes Most of the flower are white but this year i have some flower more pink, i don't know why the typical color the more pink color I give you the response for n° 5 and 18 n° 5 is D. closterostigma "magumb" ou "magumber form" (i'm not sure of the name) n° 18 is a plant nammed "D.Aff spilos mini form" by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Spence Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 The correct location name is Mogumber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I did not make any flower shots of my D. aff spilos mini form yet (neither of the closterostigma Mogumber form). Maybe, I should spend more time on that.... Your whitish D. pycnoblasta is lovely. I guess I will get back to you in fall when the gemmae season starts. The pinkish D. helodes is also interesting. Thanks for this game! Dieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.ca Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 If it's not too much trouble, can you please show a photo of the plant at #12? I grow 3 forms of helodes but none of the flowers look like yours. The stamen are very short on all of them like in the first photo posted here by jimscott.

jp Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 hi Marius If find 2 olds photos of d.helodes a plant and a plant with gemmaes plante gemmes do you have some photos of the form you cultivate, it will be interested to compare them by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.ca Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 That looks like spilos to me. Please see the Photo Gallery on my website for photos....you can find it below on the signature bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi Marius I think you are completely right . I verify with some D.Spilos i bought from Dieter it's the same plant !! So i have my false D.Helodes from many years perhaps i swap some name on my pots. Now i have many D.spilos pots but no true D.helodes, i have to find some for next season by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avery Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Would you pygmy drosera experts here help ID my plant which could be mislabelled before ...

jp Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 hi Avery I just look in the Lowrie book about pygmee drosera and it could be D.nitidula subsp omissa or D.nitidula subsp nitidula these species have quite the same flowers. It could be more easy to determinate if you have a bigger flower photo The name i give you are the old name of these plants by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.ca Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 A close-up photo of a flower might help. It's one of the nitidula...but hard to say which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
