Cute drosera

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Does it have a white flower or pink? For those are interested Lake Badgerup pygmy hybrid has been wipe out around it's lake. It all farmland:thumbdown:. It now only found in cultivation.

Hi Casey

Nice Sundew......Well at first i thought it was lake bankerupt :p

Ken

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Btw where is lake badgerup?

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Hi Khoas, you mean this pygmy is a hybrid? Ooh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. May I know what is the parentage of this pygmy?
I have a white flower form.
One question, I have many individual plants from gemmea of a same mother plant, will they pollinate with the pollen from among the flowers? I have heard that if they are pygmy hybrid, they won't set seeds. Is this true?

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

I just check Lowrie's CP of Aust. Vol.2, it full species name is mouthfull it is Shining x Western pygmy sundew nitidula ssp. omissa x occidentalis ssp. occidentalis. It originally came from the edge of a lake just north of Perth, Western Australia.
All natural pygmy hybrids are sterile and reproduced through gemmae. A clue to see if a pygmy is a hybrid is check the flower for red stigma, which it get from it's nitidula parent.

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Really cant remember what color flower it is...:blush::blush: Will check it out tomorrow. Hope it still have flower.

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Woah, what a long name. Thanks for the info again, Khoas. Appreciated.
I'll check tomorrow if it has a red stigma. :laugh: If this pygmy hybrid is sterile, meaning I will get seeds, yay!

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

TS, my man, if the plant is sterile, you won't get seed - it's like shooting blanks - pun intended:tongue:

You need it to be fertile to be able to harvest seeds, dude :laugh:

Just kidding okay !

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Where did U get the plant???!!:spinning::confused:

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Is the backdrup drosera found in Malaysia Cuz i want 2 by 1

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

I was taking a photo of my ping for ID, might as well take some others to share, this is my D. x(lake badgerup)

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Woooo nice....At first i thought the name was lake bankerupt :p Are they like pygmy sundews or something? Ahh maybe not since not that small..

Ken

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

TS - Those look so cool all growing in a clump like that! About how old are these? Thanks

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Ken, yes this is a pygmy sundew, they looked "big" because I planted them in a small pot.

Shawn, they're about a year plus from gemmea. They seems happy without dormancy.

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

TS, your pygmies look like they are getting enough light, they have good colouration. By dormancy do you mean summer (dry) dormancy or gemmae production? I would avoid dormancy anyway, you lose too many plants. For gemmae production simply place the pot in the fridge for 12 hours each night. They will think it winter and produce gemmae.

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Wow, very nice and looks very healthy!

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

TS: nice growing, looking so nice. :1thumbup:

Ed

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

TS, you have a nice plants!!! they looks like in clump!!!

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

G'day Donny, what I mean is summer dormancy. Some other pygmies already go dormant but this one kept growing.

Really? That's interesting! But can they stand the fluctuation of the temperature, the day temperature here would be 35°C. Can this method be applied on other sundews like rotundifolia to induce it to flower? My D. rotundifolia never produce any flowers since I grow them. :confused:

Azra, Edy & Casey, thanks, hope you enjoy the picture.

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

wah ... TS ... the plant kill me also ... hehehe superb nice:1thumbup::1thumbup:

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Sorry about taken so long to answer, did not notice your question:spinning:
I would try with a pot of a hybrid varieties to start with. I would not be too worry about the temperature range. It can change by 20 C or more naturally here in a few hours. Last week we had couple of days in the low 30's with night temp dropping down to 12 - 15 C.
With the round - leaf sundew (Sorry I love common names) I think it would useful inducing winter dormancy with some species but the temperature range might be bit of a problem, maybe spending some time with ultrahigh Neps for daytime would be closer to the natural temperature for the North Hemisphere winters. Why induce dormany? well once species such as filiformis and rotundifolia break dormancy they generally flower as they are throwing out their new leaves.

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Oh yeah, why didn't I think of that? OK now, how should I do to induce them to dormancy? Will placing the pot in the fridge for 12 hours at night work? The day temperature remain unchanged.

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

For a educated guess I would start off with 1 night in the fridge for 8 hours out of 3 nights to start the plant off into dormancy, gradually increase the total hours and nights in the fridge over the next 6 weeks.
If you do get some seeds off your rountifolia I would be interested :smile:
Your plant has adapted to tropical condition and would be a better gene source for South Aussie conditions.

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Thanks Donny for the tips. I'll do some leaf cuttings first before I test the method just in case something go wrong. :laugh:

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

D. x lake badgerup can propagate using leaf cutting? out of topic, how about pygmy ?

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

I guess you could, I never have try to do it, I just use gemmae. By pygmy are you using the common name for D. pygmea? If so same answer as above :smile:

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

Hi Casey, I have successfully propagated D.pulchella with leaf. I haven't tried it with D.x(lake badgerup) and yet to tryout other pygmies when I'm free. :laugh:

Re: Drosera x(lake badgerup)
 

IC... I will open the others thread about this...
