WOW! Truly a magnificent Drosera...Almost has a D. stolonifera quality, but much different. Well done! Thanks for sharing those with us. How old?
Happy Growing,
Brian.

Dear Brian,

Ha! Glad you noticed. This species used to be lumped into D. stolonifera. Clearly related and clearly not the same thing.

Thank you for the picture thwyman very nice plant. I'm starting a few of the easier ones from seed this year hopefully a few germinate.

Brian,

This is my second year growing it but the plant itself is older than that.

Dave,

More accurate to say that this plant was once classified as a subspecies of stolonifera. But I agree it is clearly different enough to warrant the full species status.

Locko,

Be patient with seed from this group. I had seed of ramellosa take 3 years to germinate. And more commonly things like whittakerii and some macrantha forms take a year. So don't toss the pot out

[Brian Barnes]

In my opinion, the elongated bracts between leaf rosettes along the central stem, more than warrants separate species status for this plant.
Brian.
