Also what is this Utricularia? It's flowers grow where I put U. heterosepala divisions but not on the original plant. It has also spread by seed even though my U. heterosepala has not flowered at all since I got it. I know that my U. heterosepala is what the original plant is because it had some flowers on it and was sold as it when I bought it from California Carnivores.

King Drosophyllum VI wrote:I think that pitcher plants 1 and 2 are young plants so size probably doesn't matter but 2 is 3-4" tall for the biggest pitchers. 11 has pitchers about six or eight inches based on looking at it.

I ask b/c rubras and alatas can look similar, but most rubras generally stay pretty short.

I'm gonna guess #11 is another rubra.

If it came from CC it’s most probably U. bisquamata. It’s in just about every pot they sell.

All of my other bisquamata flower seasonally and were not in the pot where the picture was taken is the reason why I was confused.

Thanks for the input I think I have ids for most of them.

If you are not interested in reading my long bouring paragraph of text you can just read the underlined stuff.

I think my identifications for sundew 1 and 2 are wrong because of how they look now. I identified #1 as a light deprived D. burmannii so I moved it to where it got the full sun that all the other burmannii get. All of my D. burmannii are of some white variety and originated from one self polinating plant so they all look the same with almost no variations. I think that plant #1 is a Drosera burmannii x spatulata hybrid and not a light deprived D. burmannii as I thought before. Is this possible? Do you agree? I originally beleved that sundew #2 was a very large D. capillaris but now it is growing leaves that resemble the upright leaves of D. nidiformis. I think sundew #2 is a Drosera spatulata x nidiformis hybrid because of the size of the plant and upright leaves for the D. nidiformis and the coloration of the leaves for D. spatulata. Is this hybrid possible? Does anyone agree?
L Also I have a leaf cutting from #1 that is growing a plant on it which has never worked for Drosera burmannii in my experience but works well with D. spatulata.

The first one looks like D. natalensis. The second is D. burmannii. The last sundew looks like what most people call D. capillaris long arm. I prefer to call it D. aff. capillaris since it is obvious to me that it’s not pure capillaris.

Here is one of mine.

I agree with KK, although I think I might see some snap tentacles characteristic of burmannii/sessilifolia on the first sundew. Could we get closer pics? Burmannii x spatulata is almost certainly not possible though.

D. natalensis have snap tentacles as well. You can see them on mine. A lot of sundews have snap tentacles, especially when they are younger. Check out this link. http://www.hartmeyer.de/ArtikelundBeric ... ent_GB.htm

Wow good to know, thanks!

I agree with the Drosera capillaris 'Long Arm' identification but for the first plant I wasn't sure about the D. natalensis so I did further research. When I first started the research I though it was a Drosera slackii but the petioles on on my plant are thinner realative to the leaf comapred to D. slackii I foubd in google images. I thought I looked a lot like D. rubrifolia. This is likely because it is a young plant though and you are probably right about it being a D. natalensis but it could be anything from California Carnivores which grows from seed. I found it in my Sarracenia purpurea's pot where a D. filiformis (I had never owned a D. filiformis plant that survived to floweing) germinated 3 years after I bought the S. purpurea. I don't have any idea how it survived that long even though the water tray that the plant was in froze completely multiple times.
