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?

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.

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

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

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

Just kidding okay !
