I think there were a couple in there. They were started for cutting so they put on size pretty quickly. Much quicker than seeds.

It will take a week or two to dew back up. Filiformis really take a beating in shipping. Any new leaves that are unspooling should have dew on them.

I took a closer look, and I can see dew in the new leaves.

It is a cultivar of Drosera filiformis var. floridana and D. tracyii.

From what I read:
Drosera filiformis var. filiformis ‘florida all red’ × filiformis var. Tracyi (anthocyanin-free)

I've found that tracyii isn't necessarily anthocyanin-free. I have a tracyii that produces pink flowers and one that produces white. I'm not sure about the parentage of a Dreamsicle.

[Edit] I just saw the ICPS description so the parent is AF. Good to know.

Are you sure you got a Dreamsicle? That looks like a tracyii to me. The Dreamsicle should have red tipped tenticles and the coil should be orange looking.

Maybe your relative is conning you :lol: My Dreamsicle leaf propagations look like Capensis alba, because of the low lighting...

He gave me the tube where the plant was (still packaged and taped), and inside was a tag that said "Drosera Filiformis 'Dreamsicle'".

Plus, I saw his plant.
