I've been talking a lot about stuff that's not from genus
Drosera lately. It's time to get back down to brass tacks. Look at this
Drosera venusta. Just look at it.
|
If you look closely, you can see that D. venusta has snap tentacles. Interesting! |
This is easily,
easily the best this plant has ever looked for me. Much better than it looked back in September. Maybe it's the cooler temperatures that have this plant looking better, or maybe it's just finally acclimated to my conditions. Or maybe it's random. I've heard from some other growers that it just looks great or looks terrible randomly. At least it's looking great now!
Another plant that's been doing pretty well is
Drosera madagascariensis. It's mostly recovered from blooming.
|
Got that lean on. |
I didn't get any seed the last time it bloomed, so I've been clipping the flower stalks. I think I'll have to do a stem cutting soon, since there's a serious wiggle on the largest plant. I'll also probably start some more leaf cuttings.
I've also got a couple of
Drosera hamiltonii that are in one of their "looking good" phases.

Very lovely colors on this plant. |
|
A different clone. |
This species is sort of weird in my conditions. When I feed them they'll lose their dew for like 6 weeks, and then they dew up again and look great, which temps me into feeding them again. I think they might like a taller pot and an airier mix, but I don't know when I'll get around to repotting them again. Ah well, it's not so bad.
Finally, things are progressing well on Operation: Nice-looking
Drosera sessilifolia.

Lovely glow on this sundew. |
Moving right along!
