I've seen D. intermedia x rotundifolia in the wild, in the New Jersey Pine
Barrens, in an area of high concentrations of D. rotundifolia, intermedia and
D. filiformis filiformis.

I'll concur .. it's an incredible plant, deep red and large, with almost
perfectly round leaves on elegant petioles and, as someone said, slightly
raised off the ground, although no where near to the extent of D. intermedia.

(of side note, my D. x hybrida, D. filiformis filiformis and D. intermedia
(NJ) are all starting to go dormant, the D. filiformis and x hybrida have
been for more than a month now, though the intermedia x rotundifolia is still
going strong, as are my D. rotundifolia NJ, interestingly enough).

D. intermedia x filiformis is now, without a doubt, my FAVORITE drosera (part
of my growing collection of natural US hybrids .. D. x hybrida, D. intermedia
x brevifolia and D. intermedia x capillaris)

BTW, I "donated" a small speciment to Peter and Marilee at California
Carnivores for (hopefully) cultivation and sale. I really think it is too
nice a plant to only be in the hands of a few collectors (and the site I
found it at in the wild is rapidly turning into an all-terrain vehicle
mudpit)
