I'll keep my fingers crossed for a good set, Geir, thank you.   :D

We are having a very poor seed set on most plants here this year. Flowers are so wet most of the time and not many pollinators around. :(

John, that Galax looks impressive and what a bargain. They are soooo slow to put on any size, nice flowers and I love the autumn tones. Great plant. Love the Hacquetia thor in the back ground..is this cv known to produce seed at all?

cheers

Is this a very dry while dormant tuberous species Fred? Or regular Drosera conditions. Great plant,  :o

Not tuberous Ronm.

The Queensland sundews like it humid and shaded, not full sun.
Tropical so must be frost free.

Often refered to as the Three Sisters they are Drosera adelae, D. prolifera and D. schizandra.
Well worth a look at Ronm  ;D

I totally agree Fred. These are fascinating plants, not only for what they do, but in the range of habitats and variety of conditions in which they grow ( Brazilian Rainforests, Venezuelan Tepuis, British bogs, Australian deserts etc.). I grew many species 20 + years ago. Still have Allen Lowries excellent books boxed up somewhere in the house! May have to dig them out. ;D
