Pygmy Drosera in WA

[cindy]

November is the end of spring and many species are going dormant or have already gone dormant. Just sharing pics of the ones that are still looking good at the moment. Hope everyone will enjoy them.

p.s. I forgot to add...pardon my lack of photography skills. I just hope that the photos give everyone an idea on how to grow these plants better.

Those are better pics than I could have taken from Canada

Thanks for sharing, really cool pics

Many of them almost look like something impossible is happening, plants growing in those kind of conditions

hey! Thank you so much for these pictures! I'm always looking for pictures of CPs 'in situ,' they come up oh-so-rarely. Thanks again!

Western Australia is below the equator. The seasons are reversed in respect to above the equator.

taz6122, these plants go dormant in summer.

Gee whiz
I am fairly new to CPs and the areas they grow. WA is also Washington,USA

Although I did not think they would grow well in Washington, I thought I had seen where some grow in Canada so I did not know for sure.

Thanks for the pictures Cindy and now I know for sure where they were taken.

That's not a problem, I've made the mistake of not considering where a person posting is located before. You have to think globally with the Internet.

Barry Rice's website will help you get up to speed:

Thanks for the link NaN. It sure helps with the native species. I'm going to make a trip next summer to find and take pictures of D. Brevifolia that should be growing along the Illinois river. Some of the ppl in the area have them in their yards and some are Thick.

thank again

Hi Xavier,

Unfortunately I didn't manage to take photos of D. scorpioides. We arrived at the site but couldn't find any. Then we realised that we were lost. By then, the sun was setting so we left and went on to see D. barbigera.

Could you tell me that this is Drosera nitidula or not?



I now see in the internet and I find this picture:



Thanks!

Simple, just compare it to the photo of Drosera nitidula on the same site:
