Siggi_Hartmeyer Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 With 6 cm diameter, Drosera cistiflora shows one of the largest and most beautiful flowers in the genus. The plant is more than 10 years old and is flowering for the first time. It has been propagated from leaf-cuttings and got some benefit when we fed our catapult-traps with fruitflies during the last years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 That's really wonderful Siggi, thanks very much. A bit disappointing to hear I might have to wait another 9 years or more before mine flower though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlatokrt Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Nice one, congrats! Gaz: my plants were in vitro propagated and first of them flowered only two years after deflasking... ten years is a very long time :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
