Hello Friends, A few years back I made an interesting cross between Drosera filiformis "Florida red form" and Drosera tracyi"white flower, antho-free". Finally after a long wait, it has finally flowered and shows some interesting characteristics of both parents involved. Introducing; D. X "Florida Fury". Close up views of hybrid and both parent's leaves; And now the parent's flowers; And finally, the flowers of D. X "Florida Fury". The extra wide notched petals are typical of the D. tracyi antho-free parent and the pink overall blush is clearly from the D. filiformis "Florida red form" parent. The hybrid's flower also shows a white tinge in the center further proving the successful crossing between the two. Propagation of this plant is restricted to leaf cuttings only. Happy Growing! Brian Barnes.

Nicely done beautiful plant you've made Brian. Can't wait until we see them on this side of the big pond Any idea how hardy it is? (standard tracyi will survive outside in the bog, the plant we have here as filiformis Red didn't make last winter )

Hi Brian,
congratulation, nice plants and flowers. I´m also continueing to make some crosses between south American Drosera and i also think that a few of them should have worked.
Best regards,
Dani

Hello Marcel and Dani, D. X "Florida Fury" seems to be fairly hardy plant. Mine have survived through periods of 26F for several days. Dani, Your hybrid seeds have germinated well.... Hopefully you will create more! Happy Growing, Brian.

Hi Brian,
good to hear that the hybrid seed germinated well. I´ve also sown out a part of them, it will be interesting if there will be variation in the F2 which could be possible.
Best regards,
Dani
