For sheer bulk of dewy leaves my favourite would have to be D. regia.
This plant will catch almost anything up to and including moths and
butterflies.

For looks my prize would go to D. madagasgariensis. There is something
about those red stems that get longer as the season progresses and
eventually fall over....
