| The first picture of the plant is
taken early in the growing season showing the plants at their "best".
You can sort of get the scale of the plants by looking at the
sand grains. That is 16 mesh silica sand blasting sand in all
the photos. The flowers are as close as possible so the details
of the flower morphology can be seen. Note the differences in
the naughty bits as well as petal shape, color, and pattern.
The pot photos ARE to scale. The images show an 8 cm square. |
Drosera oreopodion
This plant is much like a white flowered D. echinoblastus.
The flowers are smaller and there are more of them per plant. It's
grow habit is identical with dormancy after flowering. |
 |
Drosera paleacea subsp. trichocaulis
Some people consider D. roseana to be a subspecies
of this species. As you can see from the pictures, they are quite
different. |
 |
Drosera pulchella
This species has very nice flowers and grows well in terrariums.
It has many flower color variants from red to white to orange.
It does best when summers are relatively cool. It produces seeds. |
 |
Drosera roseana
This is a great pygmy. The plants are very cute and do well
in terrariums. It will not bloom or produce gemmae in terrariums.
It doesn't produce seeds when selfed. |
 |
Drosera scorpioides
This is the easiest pygmy to grow. It is large and grows fast.
It can live for years in a terrarium. I have had plants get 8 cm
tall after a few years. This species blooms very early in the spring
so only plants one year old or more will bloom. The flowers don't
self pollinate. |
