Hi all, i grow a big number of mature D. spiralis (graminifolia) from two different locations in Brazil and most of them are in flower at the moment. It´s a very compact and robust plant, since a few months it started to produce a big number of side shots (all the others don´t do it). The leafes are about 20cm long and several are branching in the upper part of the leafes. The flower scapes have a big number of tentacles in the upper part (relatively small leafes with tentacles between the flowers), even the sepals do have a big number of tentacles. BTW, this is the biggest Drosera from South America. D. spiralis ´Itacambira, Minas Gerais, Brazil´ Here several side shots are visible Here you can see the development of a 3 forked leaf (in the left part of the picture), which isn´t normal for this species. the hole plant Here you can see some of the tentacles on the developing flower scape and some of the folked leafes. from the back a forked leaf And some flowers, it´s a three forked flower scape and here is a one of the small leaves with tentacles visible. some mutant flowers Here the tentacles are clearly visible, even on the petals. This flower is from the small plant which sprouted out of the roots some time ago, it also has these tentacles on the sepals. Hopefully you like them. Best regards, Daniel

Many thanks to both of you. Indeed this species, especially this plant, catches a lot of prey. For sure this is the reason why it´s robust. Best regards, Daniel
