My
Drosera venusta was looking a little so-so for a while, but recently it has been doing a lot better. It's even got a new flower stalk.
|
Looking less fried than it did during summer. Maybe it was the heat. |
The last couple stalks it made
aborted for some reason, but this one is growing all the way up into the lights.
|
I moved it just in time. |
That means it's time for a move! I decided to have it take the place of my
Pinguicula laureana x
emarginata, which isn't going to need very much vertical room. I also decided to pull out those
Utricularia bisquamata flowers, because as much as I find it to be a charming weed, I'd prefer it not set seed all over my collection.
Speaking of weeds, while I was shuffling around the plants to make room from the
D. venusta I bumped my
Drosera capensis red form flower stalk.
|
Hope I don't get too many D. capensis red form seedlings everywhere. |
Dang! I took a pause from shuffling plants to harvest some
D. capensis red form seed (and also, while I was at it, some
D. capensis 'Albino'). Those seeds will be available for sale soon.
In any case, I got it all set up, and now I'm ready for it to bloom and set seed. Exciting!

Beauty shot! |
I'd love to trade for a pup off that Pinguicula laureana x emarginata in the spring. I'll just have to figure out what I have that you'd want so I can get to propagating. -N
ReplyDeleteI'll keep that little guy in the top right earmarked for you Natch. I'd love P. cyclosecta or P. esseriana, and I'm also interested in U. nelumbifolia. I can be tempted by lots of stuff though!
