D. burmanni seedlings & ?
« Thread Started on 11 Mar, 2008, 15:21 »I'm new to this forum so first off, thanks to you all for all the info you have shared with me, without ever knowing it!

I live on an island off the East coast of Thailand and found this site mainly due to my interest in Neps...but I often cross paths with other plants and before either of us knows it, they are breeding right here on my porch! Such was the case with some Drosera burmannii. (OK, I said "Drosera burmannii" - but that's just my guess! Please correct me if I'm wrong!)

I've been trying out the germination of Drosera burmannii seeds from some older plants that I decided to let flower. Thanks to all the earlier comments on procedures on this forum, I'm quite happy with the progress so far. The "seedling" boxes were planted on Feb. 19th and the first germination (that I saw) was by March 5th. Since then I see a couple new ones every day.

The larger seedlings (transplanted in rows) are volunteers that came up in the muck of the old parent plant pots.

And now, can anybody identify these little guys for me?

And these may just be a big clump of D. burmannii seeds that all fell together in one spot? Or? What do you think?

Okay, thanks again to everyone!

« Reply #4 on 11 Mar, 2008, 17:28 »Tarence and Cindy - Thanks! Hmmm, D. Indica... S. African species aren't they? I wonder how they ended up over here in Thailand? Some time back they (The D. burmannii) came to me along with some Nepenthes from a grower in Southern Thailand. I noticed 2-3 plants less than 1/4" tall off to the side that looked interesting. Then while I was away kayaking in the jungle the D. Brumannii and these others flowered and then quickly faded away. I just found a few sprouting up from the mud of the old plants. Looks like yet another species has me hooked! Link to Post - Back to Top Loggedcindy

D. indica can be found in Thailand. I think the Pha Taem National Park in Ubon Ratchathani Province has them as well as D. burmannii.

Terence,
I have got no idea. Maybe, since this form is from Thailand.

D. indica actually is pretty widespread, it can be found across the Africa, Asia and Australia. the name itself, Indian sundew, suggests that it can be found in India.

« Reply #9 on 12 Mar, 2008, 12:27 »Thanks for all the feedback! I have a lot to learn about Droseras.

David - Sure, I'll post more as it gets larger.

hongrui - Ok, that probably explains the variation that Tarence is speaking of.

Edmund 83 - There is no dirt under the sphagnum. I just lifted the plants roots and all and set them into the sphagnum. They were all coming up in clumps and I thought it best to seperate them while I still could! I'll see if this was a good idea or not! If anyone knows if it would be better to just set them in soil/mud or if the pure sphagnum is ok I would be glad to have guidance!

All Drosera lovers - you may have already know of these links, but I found them very useful;
