Re: Drosera and some extremely rare tuberous
David,
Don't lose hope on the seeds yet. Allow the seeds to dry out for 6 months (Summer) and try again in the coolest part of the year. Like I mention in the other thread nighttime lenght and temperature are signals that the seeds will look for germination. Even then it will take 6 - 12 weeks for germination. Also Gilliberic Acid (a plant hormone) is handy for kick starting the germination. |

I watched a TV program on the discovery of Ethylene in 1994, it was the only single chemical responcible for bush regeneration, Heat itself has nothing to do with Tuberous Drosera. Time for some more photos I think. http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2452/rimg0170je6.jpg Drosera peltata "Richmond, NSW" http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/7646/rimg0172zs4.jpg Drosera macrantha ssp.emerae also known now as Stricticularis ssp.emerae which makes more sence to me. http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4207/rimg0173fc6.jpg Drosera stolonifera ssp. stolonifera "type form" More later- Grandmaster. |

Re: Drosera and some extremely rare tuberous
Yes you are right about heat with Drosera it other genera like Banksia that need heat. What types of hybrids have you managed to produce? Any cross of the different subgroups?
Interesting that eremea is been classifed as subspecies of stricticularis. I have try to cross it with macrantha with no success. I would still be inclined to see it more related to macrantha but as seperate species. It is scrambling herb unlike the stricticularis I saw which had habit closer to menzesii ssp menzesii. Interesting about eremea is it does not release it pollen until after 2pm. |

Re: Drosera and some extremely rare tuberous
Moar!
Drosera sulphurea- looks similar to peltata, gigantea ect. http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/7614/rimg0192ks5.jpg Drosera pallida flowers. http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/3883/rimg0194se0.jpg Drosera macrantha ssp.macrantha- Type http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/2434/rimg0195yx4.jpg Drosera huegelii flower- crappy. http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/9199/rimg0199tk6.jpg Drosera stolonifera ssp. porrecta "Southern Form" http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/5658/rimg0201ue9.jpg Stolonifera ssp.porrecta plant- http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/4751/rimg0208ex3.jpg stolonifera ssp.stolonifera plant. http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6103/rimg0209je0.jpg And finally, Drosera menziesii ssp. menziesii the first tuberous species I had luck with, I got these as two tubers way back in 2002 and from then they have multiplyed to over 50 plants, not bad eh?. http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7960/rimg0215bx5.jpg |
Re: Drosera and some extremely rare tuberous
Yes the Pink Rainbow menzesii ssp menzesii is a good one to start with. I started with about dozen in 1999 I have now around 2000 - 3000 plants. I found average of 3.5 tuber per tuber planted, per year.

Re: Drosera and some extremely rare tuberous
Wow, nice. Got any photos of them in flower?.

Re: Drosera and some extremely rare tuberous
Do either of you have D. zigzagia in your collections. I recently saw pictures of this flowering for the first time a week ago from a collector here in Mlebourne. It has stunning yellow flowers.

Re: Drosera and some extremely rare tuberous
I wish I had zigzagia. It has yellow flowers? I thought only mooreii had yellow flowers in the tuberous sundews. I know it is very closely related to gigantea.David, Am looking for any photos of my menzesii. I will have them posted as soon I find them.
