Default Re: D. spatulata flowering

The big storm? The one that sank that ferry? It was gave us strong winds, and quite a bit of rain, but no problem in Manila... much. The rain actually flooded a container that had seeds, which probably caused it to only produce just one plant now.

As my CPs are grown on a veranda, I made sure that my prize plants were protected from the high winds, that included my sarracenias and some Neps. I lost a Nep cutting to the wind, either fell or flew off!

I posted a question in the forum about Drosera and too much rain, no one really replied, so I just left them as is, they get strong rain when it does rain. So far I think that the Capensis might not like to be pelted by rain, but it might just be coincidence. The D. Capensis, several plants have recently produced shorter leaves than before. I might consider protecting them from direct rain in the future by making a "roof" but we'll see. Your can probably design a "roof" over your bog garden for the monsoon season In Manila we are in fact in the monsoon season now
