Re: Drosera Species Threatened by Recent Bushfire in Victoria, Australia
Yes, the worst on record. The drought here has been going for more than 10 years. Our water storages are down to only around only 30% and it has been the driest start to a year on record- only about 3mm in Melbourne in 2009 so far.
The tuberous Drosera still seem to grow well in winter. The small amount of water we've received each winter for the past few years seems to be enough to keep them going.
