Good Lord! What incredible shots of our beloved tuberous Drosera.... ;D I would've probably spent most of my time wiping drool off of my lens! Those are some GORGEOUS shots Barry and we appreciate you sharing with us... By the way, what were the temps like the day of your shoot? Kudos! Brian.

Very nice, Barry! I share your frustration with wind. Would be nice to one of these days to have it cooperate. As per your comment here, I think the photo is of Stylidium ecorne. It's tough to see, but S. calcaratum has a noticeable nectary spur which is significantly reduced or absent in S. ecorne. S. calcaratum also possess tridentate posterior corolla lobes. Hope that helps.

Barry, are you sure that wasn't two different plants growing stacked on each-other? I got some seed from Phill several years back, and I just got germination on one of them (most have been growing for three years now) and it looks rather like the upright portion of the plant in your photo, but is doesn't have a flat basal rosette... Unfortunately, I tossed the label since it never came up until this year! (thought I do have the species list of seeds received) Still, I doubt the label was right if it is a new species and all...

Dave, you have to know Barry to appreciate Barry (and I do not mean in the biblical sense).

Hi Barry,
Thanks for taking the time to show us your fine photos of the day, oh and thanks for remembering to mention me.
I must say that it was the most interesting introduction I've had and was thinking I could call my new alter ego "Drosera Man", the colour of the super suit was particularly apt for the occasion.
Dave.

Hope that helps. Hey Kitkor, If you could get a closer look at my image of the Stylidium, what part would you want to see to help you ID this? My original images are 10MPixs, so the online versions are significantly (27X) reduced in pixel count. Barry

Barry, are you sure that wasn't two different plants growing stacked on each-other? Hey Dave, Well.... remember that long ago I posted a trip report describing time you and I spent in the Pine Barrens, in which I revealed that you are actually the Jersey Devil, with cloven hooves and all? I guess the joke about the "new species" is a little too subtle this time. Barry

My original images are 10MPixs, so the online versions are significantly (27X) reduced in pixel count. Barry Detailed view of the throat appendages might help. And if you had another photo of the leaf form, that'd be great, too. Another thought about this photo is that it could be S. petiolare. The anterior corolla lobes in the photo look nothing like S. ecorne or S. calcaratum, which have a significant bend in the anterior corolla lobes with straight posterior lobes. The photo shows curved posterior lobes and unbended anterior lobes. Phill sent me a photo just like this not too long ago.

Utric Man, Drosera Man and The Fuzz out on CP patrol... I wish had been along for the ride. I didn't think it (the magic sundew) was real, but I couldn't really tell from looking at the photo.
