Sometimes it seems like I'm always posting about the same plants. Today I decided to check out a few species that I haven't paid much attention to lately.
Drosera collinsiae has been looking weirdly unhappy for the past month or two.
 |
| At least the Utricularia bisquamata is going strong! |
It looks sort of the way it does when it's heat stressed but that's definitely not the problem right now. This has never been a very vigorous plant in my conditions though, so it could be anything really. I wish it would perk up though!
The neighboring
Drosera affinis is doing much better.
 |
| Quite dainty. I like it. |
I don't mention it much, but I really like this species. Its stem-forming habit is great – distinctive, but not ridiculous like
Drosera madagascariensis. It's an elegant, delicate-looking plant.
I dug out some of the moss from around
Drosera brevifolia so it can have a bit more room now.
 |
| Maybe I can feed this guy again soon and encourage flowering. |
I hope I didn't damage the roots in doing so. I really need to get this plant to flower one more time so I can start a new pot and throw this one out. That
Sphagnum is really awful stuff, very dense and stiff. It just totally swallows up plants and doesn't even look nice.
I got this long-armed form of
Drosera capillaris in the last NASC auction because I liked the location data: Tate's Hell Swamp, FL. It's actually a really handsome plant though!
 |
| Wonderfully dewy. Great plant! |
That's one of the best red colors in my collection, and it's supporting a really large amount of leaves. Very vigorous plant, I like it a lot.
