Drosera macro galore!

[Brian Barnes]

Hi Friends,

Since Spring has sprung, I couldn't resist taking some Drosera macro shots to celebrate the new growing season! Here's wishing everyone a happy, fruitful and prosperous new growing season. I hope you enjoy the pics...

Happy Growing,

Brian.

Here's Drosera leucoblasta 'Brookton'






and...Drosera dichrosepala I've discovered that this variant's flowers stay open at night and are scented with a jasmine- type smell...





Here's a lovely Drosera petiolaris-dilatato hybrid...





And last but not least, Drosera trinervia...

Hey Brian,

Great shots of great plants! My pygmys are sending up flowers as well!

Good Growing,
Max

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh....what a sight!

Brian, spring has finally arrived central Germany,too and today it´s a great warm spring day and I´ll rush into nature in a couple of minutes!

My pygmies also celebrate a flower show and I´ll go on taking pictures from tomorrow on. I´m expecting first flowers of Drosera spilos to be open.
Unfortunately I´ve lost Drosera walyunga in my collection, the germinated gemmae have all died - I guess because of the warm temperatures the T5 lamps radiate.

Additionally I think I´ll have a nice surprise for all of you, too. At the end of April we´ll probably know more! ;D

Happy growing!

Andreas

Thanks, Max and Andy...

Good news that Spring has found you! ;D
I can't wait to see D. spilos in flower.... And sorry to hear about your Pygmy loss.
Let me know when you have D. spilos gemmae, Andy. ;D

Oh, anything from the P. planifolia seed yet?

Happy Growing,

Brian.
