Hi all,
I'd like to know the exact species and ssp if applicable of the following two plants.
They're fresh from a garden center, so I expect some more red coloration after some weeks.

The first plant is definetly D. capensis"alba". Im not auite sure what tthe second plant is, the leaves are quite long compared to my D. aliciea but this may be because of the lack of light.
Hope this helps, Pat

Thanks Pat!

At least one is now classified beyond a doubt

Hopefully "Sundew Duane" reads this topic to give me an answer for the other one

If you look at this photo http://www.carnivorousplants.org/seedba ... liciae.htm
you will be able to see that it is an D.aliciae .
It just needs a bit more time to settle down after transplanting and also more sunlight .

A good link for all photo's is this http://www.humboldt.edu/~rrz7001/ an excellent site for all carnivorous plants.

Thanks Duane!

I'll make sure they get better treatment than at the garden center.

Cheers

I have those aswell. The second one turns completely red in the sun. At least mine did.
