Dear Drosera-lovers, Photos and information on the plant in its natural habitat can be read in Fernando’s original report on CP UK forum (see above links) and in the species' description. And here are two photos of plants of D. amazonica in cultivation, raised from seed (thanks again Fernando!) to flowering plants in less than 12 months! This plant does not only remind me of D. roraimae or D. felix (or maybe even some stunted D. intermedia), it also shares their vigour and fast growth. Luckily it seems D. amazonica is a rather easy grower, providing warm temperatures and general Drosera needs (especially good light intensity and qualitiy!). It grows well in milled sphagnum:sand mix or peat:sand-mix in tray system (keep it very wet!) both in my hot greenhouse and under artificial lights (T5-bulbs) in a terrarium. I would guess if you are able to grow D. roraimae or D. felix successfully, you’ll be able to grow D. amazonica as well.  Note the short scape of the almost sessile single flower, which is typical for this species. The flowers are sweetly parfumed (like those of D. arenicola, for example).  Unfortunately I do neither have spare seed nor spare plants at the moment to share, but have already spread it to several experienced sundew growers around the world for further propagation and distribution. All the best, Andreas |

@rich and Andreas
Thanks so much for sharing with the ICPS community. Can you, or anyone else reading this, please post when seeds are available? Thanks! -Ken
