Thanks everybody :)
The jpegs are about 7 mb each. I upload the images onto Flickr and then link them in. They're hosted on flickr.

No, unfortunately I've lost interest in the hobby. I currently only have one D. admirabilis, capensis broad leaf, capensis bainskloof seedlings and some pygmies alive. Watering them became difficult in the summer as my rain water collection mechanism failed and the plants dried out... It turns out that the tap water in my area is soft enough to use without treatment (only found that out recently after watering the windowsill Drosera exclusively on tap water without rinsing out for several months). Maybe I'll get back to CPs one day. Aquariums are my obsession now lol

I'm fortunate enough to live in a place where I can find an abundance of sundews within walking distance or a short drive from my house. D. peltata and related species (auriculata, lunata etc) are probably the most common sundew around Sydney. They're often found in habitats that are bone dry in summer but moist in winter such as shallow moss mats or surface soils. Not too sure about indoor setup conditions though, I've never kept tuberous sundews.

Thanks. They're always healthier in the wild than in my collection anyway. It's amazing, the Drosera spatulata are the most vivid reds, the Drosera binata grow massive (foot long leaves with 16 points), D. peltata grows so thick and closely together.
