Hi all, here are several pictures of D. chrysolepis ´Serra do Cipo, Minas Gerais, Brazil´. The plant itself is about 27 cm high and the stem is about 17 cm, the flowerstalk is about 23 cm long. In nature they are growing partially in higher grasses, otherwise they are falling to the side. It´s not very easy to take good pictures from the plant itself (big in diameter), from the flowers it´s much easier. Here are the pictures. I really like the very hairy flower stalk and sepals. This species is very similar to D. camporupestris (previously called D. spec. stemless chrysolepis) but it´s forming a stem. But the flowers are different. Here is a picture of D. camporupestris ´Serra do Cipo, Minas Gerais, Brazil´ These days i´ll show a few more pictures of D. camporupestris and it´s flowers. Best regards, Dani

Excellent photos, Dani. I can't wait until my D. chrysolepis gives me flowers...It shouldn't be long, they are growing nicely. Thanks for sharing with us, Brian.

Thanks Brian, how big are your seedlings? Normally they are not the fastest growers. Of course i´ve sown out seed too. In the moment it´s very difficult to take the plant outside one of the decks where it´s growing, because perhaps it will fall to the side. Now there are sprouting out new thick roots from the middle of the stem, so i will cut the plant these days. And if i´m lucky the plant will sprout out of the substrate again and of course i hope that the cutting will survive too. Here is an older picture of the hole plant, now it´s about 5-6 cm higher. Best regards, Dani

Hi Dani, Yes they are painfully slow, but definitely worth the wait. Drosera hilaris is even slower, for me at least... Excellent adult plant, BTW. Happy Growing, Brian.

Thanks Max and Brian , sometimes feeding helps, seedlings have problems to catch prey, especially when they are growing next to much bigger Drosera, and additionally the chance to catch something during winter is very very small. Because of this i´m feeding most of my Drosera seedlings from time to time, it really helps. And you are right, D. hilaris is really perhaps the slowest grower from all of the Drosera. ;D Best regards, Dani

Many thanks Andreas , from all the south American Drosera i also like mostly the wooly/hairy ones like D. chrysolepis, camporupestris, schwackei,... No problem if you are interested in, for sure we will find a solution. Best regards, Dani
