Argo88 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Can I ask You one thing? How are Your drosera linearis growing conditions? (Light, temperatures, water, winter time)... Is very difficultous To grow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthecpman Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Full sun (13+ hours), normally grow them in 50:50 peat:sharp sand but this one I'm trying in peat perlite which seems fine. Grown at water level even through winter when they happily freeze solid. Not sure if it's the same for anyone else but I have found they have a very short growing season and generally only get about 30mm in height. The one in the picture is sending up a flower stalk. I have had them growing for about 5 years now but haven't had them set a good amount of seed yet. I would say with my Conditions they are easy to grow but could vary from person to person Hope this helps Edited May 31, 2017 by danthecpman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecpman Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) One of Ian salters minor var okefenokeensis One of a few nice okee seedlings i did, the cross is MKM5 X M18 Another okee giant from Ian M18 sending up some good sized pitchers! Nice little antho free minor enjoying the morning sun These two psittacina var okefenokeensis are by far the biggest in my collection the second one has the biggest heads i have seen on any psittacina, theyre bordering on golf ball size. I would be interested to see how big other growers psittacina get? Yellow flower form Brought as a gulf coast giant but I suspect some hybridisation as it occasionally produces traps like a courtii Dan Edited June 26, 2017 by danthecpman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcz Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I like very much Sarracenia purpurea s.l. plants as well, because I only have a rather windy place for growing Sarracenia and, of course, S. purpurea s.l. resist really well by being so stout. Also, they look pretty nice year round. Common plants, but not boring plants! The 'Melissa Mazur´is something I should get someday But I think the clone is not so widespread; may I ask where did you find it? Thank you!

Hannahraptor Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Looking really good Dan. :) I also have M Mazur but apparently it's unlikely we have the original and true plant. Mike King has it but I don't thinks it very wide spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
