Hi List,
I'm just full Drosera related questions, it seems. I
received a couple bulbs of D.peltata which had just started
their second year's growth this last summer. When it got cold,
I moved them inside along with a lot of other plants. After
a couple months, one of the bulbs started to grow upright
at quite an amazing speed to reach the height of eight inches
in about five weeks time. The other plant has been doing
some weird thing, making lots of secondary rosettes.
Anyway, the first one flowered today and I tried out Jan's
new Drosera key. This is when my HEADACHE started. (it's still
going strong, BTW.) I was able to count six green yet hairy
sepals and six petals but in the time from moving the plant out
from under the light and counting the petals, the flower closed.
I put it back under the lights, it re-openned. I took it back
out and it closed up again, just after I got a glimpse inside!
Anyway, there are only two flowers and Jan's key calls for
around ten. What I did come up with is D.salina... The petals
are white, and I've been told that D.peltata is always pink.
Any idea what I have?
And why isn't the Tylenol working? ;)
