I get the impression from some of the contributors that pink is the
normal flower colour for D peltata. This wasn't my understanding;
I thought white was the norm. A tuberous Drosera fanatical friend
of mine swears that as a quick spot, if it doesn't have white flowers
it isn't ssp peltata, although some subscribers would not be happy
at the number of names he recognises. Lowrie's Vol I records
peltata as having white flowers - I suspect the pinkishness of the
photo is a quality problem and Lowrie decided to include it anyway
because it is a good piccy of the flower structure, despite the wonky
colours.

BTW, does anyone know where I might obtain material of the
Himalayan form, D peltata var lunata?

Good Growing, NigelH
