Hey Sean,
2 major plants and 2 minor plant in the pot. THis guy might not be forming droppers but it makes sport tubers real well, harvested at least 10 of the buggers when repotting this season.
Yeah, that right front plant is an odd ball. Not sure what to say about it, those branches leave the body of the plant right at soil level. Did not initially think anything of it till the back plant started opening out and did not do that. Just a freak plant I guess.

So far my D. macrantha ssp. planchonii is about 10cm's high. Am hoping it will get to around 60 odd this year. It should be a good season this year. We had a little bit of rain, but if we get more, will make it even better. Cheers

Bump, Can we sticky this topic?. How are your plants going Sean? most of mine are up with the exception of the Sydney auriculata/peltata forms, stricticularis,stolonifera subsp.porrecta, menziesii subsp.menziesii. I will have to get some photos in the coming weeks. Drosera auriculata seedling from 2005, they all seem to act differently, this form grew uprite stems 10cm tall in the first year of growth but the other forms grow much slower.. ect.

Slowly! My seem to be a fair bit behind yours. It will ba a good couple of months before my collection is much to look at. About half of my rosetted species are just breaking the surface, my forms and subspecies of D. whittakerii are the only ones with mature rosettes.
Of the erect growing species, only D. modesta, intricata, graniticola, macrantha ssp. planchonii, moorei and a couple of others have emerged.
Plenty of photos will follow throughout the season.

Hey I am going to move to Oregon %100 sure ! Our house has been in escrow for 3 weeks and they buyers are soo happy about the buy they are going on vacation so they are not going to backout! Would these temps be good for tuberous dews? I am thinking they would be great but I am not sure,. pics.city-data.com/w1/lha17935.pngand pics.city-data.com/w2/hum17935.png

Drosera auriculata Drosera macrantha subsp.macrantha "Rock outcrop form" Drosera auriculata "Wardell, New south wales" this plant grows from Port Macquarie in NSW to Bribie island in Queensland is the furthurest north I have ever seen it, I have seen this particular form grow to almost 1 meter in the wild.

Awesome pictures! I've been trying for a while to get some tuberous drosera going in my collection. So far I have quite a few seeds sown outside in the heat, just waiting for the fall to come around so they can germinate. After a while I'll have to move them under my lights because it gets way too cold here... what kind of temperatures CAN they handle anyways? It's most commonly in the teens here in the winter... plus windy.
I've suffered quite a few losses in the past.. I've gotten D. gigantea and D. peltata ssp. auriculata to germinate before, but they died shortly after germinating. I think it was either because the photoperiod was too long.. making them think they were growing out of season... or the lights were not strong enough. I'm thinking the light strength was the main problem, but I have since fixed that problem.

My contributions for the moment- Drosera erythrorhiza ssp. squamosa to start things off- The laterite form as sold by Allen Lowrie- A similar form from Yetman in WA- Another form with bands that are more reddish than purplish- Finally, the sand growing form as sold by Allen Lowrie- All 4 forms growing together- Some more Drosera erythrorhiza subspecies- Drosera erythrorhiza ssp. erythrorhizaDrosera erythrorhiza var. imbeciliaDrosera macrophylla ssp. macrophylla- Drosera tubaestylus from Harvey, WA. A personal favourite. Love the colour. Drosera zonaria- Drosera rosulata- Drosera orbiculata- Drosera aff. bulbosa. Very similar to forms of D. bulbosa var. major- Drosera praefolia- Some colourful forms of Drosera whittakerii. Drosera whittakerii ssp. aberrans from the Grampians in Victoria. Drosera whittakerii ssp. aberrans from Gisborne in Victoria. Drosera whittakerii ssp. whittakerii from Onkaparinga River in South Australia. Drosera whittakerii ssp. whittakerii from Clarendon in South Australia. Drosera whittakerii ssp. whittakerii from Talisker in South Australia. Now time for examples of other growth forms- Drosera ramellosa- Drosera stolonifera ssp. stolonifera from Harvey in WA. Just emerging- Drosera andersoniana- Drosera graniticola- The red form of Drosera gigantea, yet to begin unfurling its leaves- Drosera menziesii ssp. menziesii- Drosera microphylla, the white flowered form with deep red colouration- Some of the D. peltata group- Drosera peltata var. foliosa from Gurdies in Victoria- Drosera peltata var. peltata from the Brisbane Ranges in Victoria- A strange form found in various areas of Victoria. It's definitely a form of D. peltata but does not form a basal rosette and is incredibly robust in comparison to others. Closely related to D. peltata var. foliosa but at the same time, very different. The plant in the photo is yet to begin producing leaves- The form of D. peltata from WA. This plant will probably be separated from D. peltata in the future- Not tuberous, but they do grow in winter and are my favourite group of Drosera, just ahead of the tuberous ones. Drosera pauciflora from Caledon in RSA. I’m not sure of the correct naming of this plant as it is different from the regular form of D. pauciflora and similar to a small form of D. cistiflora. Grown from seed- And finally, a few shots of my tuberous Drosera collection. They are grown outdoors with a plastic roof covering them. More later.

Wow.. those are simply amazing!
I recently bought a D. macrantha ssp. macrantha "rock outcrop form" tuber from Cook. I'm waiting for the fall to plant the tuber. I REALLY can't wait to get it going now that I've seen it!

It may take a few years to reach that size but they are worth it, Why not plant it now?.

Well the tuber I have is about 4-5 mm across. I'm not sure how big of a plant it will make, but we'll see.
The reason I haven't planted it is so that I can keep it growing with my season. Tuberous drosera only grow in the winter, right? Well... then I want it to stay that way. The lights that I have plants under in my room are kept on the same schedule as the sun during that time of the year to simulate seasons. I haven't seen firsthand how much of a difference it makes, but I've heard from some people that it's the only successful way to grow tuberous drosera. I myself am a tuberous drosera newb...
