Unknown Drosera


Recommended Posts

Good Evening all, I was originally told that this pictured below was a slackii, however, it does not resemble my other Slackii.

 

It never seems to go red, stays this lime green colour, regardless of what light I put it under, and it has sent 3 flower spikes, I've pictured these below also. Another interesting factor is that the flowers never appear to open fully. I thought they might be time based (I've seen other types of plants only flower at night/morning/in sunlight other variations) but I've kept my eyes peeled on this one for well over a month and it never seems to change from the picture between my fingers and thumbs. The smaller plant was a 'off shoot' it seems to have sent out through the roots. I'm curious what this type might be, I'm guessing at this point a hybrid but I do quite like my quirky little plant as it differs from all the others of its type. Another interesting feature was that during winter it was the only drosera (asides from capensis) that continued to keep dew on its leaves without dying back. Suggesting it could be quite hardy. Although I havent fully put this to the test yet as i didnt want to lose it, it sat on a windowsill during winter which was consistently around 8-10 degrees celcius.

It's the anthocyanin free form of Drosera venusta that I passed seed around from many years ago.
