Hi HCarlton - Nice update! You seem to be single-handedly keeping this forum on life support. Very well grown D. neocaledonica. I've never had much luck with that one. How do you grow it? Temps? Soil mix? Etc.
I tried D. schizandra once. I was told it needed cool conditions. I overdid that with temps getting down to 6C. Glad to see someone keeping it going. I'm hoping to take a second stab at it soon.

D. neocaledonica is no picker for me than any other Drosera in the collection currently. Peat and perlite, with a top dressing slowly forming of live sphagnum. It gets artificial light throughout the year and direct sun during winter, temps vary from cool intermediate to moderate lowland conditions throughout the year. I have yet to flower it though, despite the fact that they look absolutely immaculate currently.
D. schizandra does need cool temps, and mine does best in winter when its shady corner of the greenhouse averages about 67F; during summer the whole house can get to 80 though, the greenhouse warmer, and they suffer a bit .Hopign a recent change of soil might help with that.
