Now that these plants are older, the differences in growth habit between D. spatulata ‘Tamlin’ and D. spatulata — Beenak, Vic., Aus. are striking. They looked pretty similar when they were younger, but now they’re obviously different.

‘Tamlin’: Beenak: See how upright the ‘Tamlin’ leaves are? They only started doing that once they got more than like 8 months old or so, and it fits the cultivar description nicely. They aren’t big yet, but they’ve flowered a lot. Meanwhile, the Beenak plants are flatter and have a less red look to the leaves.

If you’ve got any other Drosera spatulata please share so we can see the many forms of this species!

I love seeing the different forms of D. spatulata

VERY nice! I have lots of flower stalks right now! It's awesome! Can't remember which variety I have though.

After a little research mine looks like a New Zealand variety.
