kinabalufan Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 First off let me start with an apology I dont have any photos but I just wanted to ask CPUK members for any info they might have on seeing Drosera in Hong Kong I will be visiting there for a couple of days in the first week of July this year and of course I would love to see some CPs in habitat. Is Lantau Island Sunset peak the best place to go? In case we don't have time or more likly my wife gets annoyed with my plant obsession is their any easier place to view plants in habitat? I would like to see Nepenthes mirabilis too but Drosera are my main love. Please delete if this isn't appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I don't have any information to add to what you doubtless already know, but Lantau would probably be your best bet. I did see Drosera there a couple of decades ago, but that was before I got into the hobby so I don't know which species they were. Sunset Peak has D. oblanceolata near the summit, and there are populations of D. spatulata on the island too. D.peltata would be the one I'd want to see, but I'm not sure where that grows. Good luck, and post some photos afterwards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely take photos of any cps I see and hopefully a video too as it looks pretty scenic and post them here. Cant wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Cornish Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 If you don't manage a trip out to Lantau there are drosera on Hong Kong Island at Pokfulam country park. Walk along the road into the park from the bottom and they are on the wet rocks about 10 minutes into the park up on your left. You will have to climb up the rocks a bit away from the path. See this post and you may even be able to recognize which rocks they were up. It's a beautiful walk all the way up to the peak even if you don't see any CPs. http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11855&hl=macau Regards Neil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinabalufan Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks Neil I will definitly keep that in mind I do think the peak walk looks really interesting so I hope I can make that but if not then I will try the Pokfulam country park. Thanks for the Info :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
