These two shots are of a little Drosera tokaiensis that elaineo sent me a few months ago. It seems ot be settling in nicely.

Here is a couple of shots of a Drosera Binata multifida extrema that rode from California with the tokaiensis.

Here's a short section of a Drosera Florida Giant that thumbed a ride from California to Alabama with the two sundews above.

These are ???. I got what I thought was D. Brevifolia a few months back but all of them died. Before they did, though, they apparently produced viable seed as these plants eventually came up in the pot. Before these seedlings sprouted I got some more of what I thought again was D. Brevifolia from a different place.
These last plants were later ID'd as D. Capillaris by someone who knows what they're talking about (thanks @Nepenthes0260 !!!). Well, in looking closely at these photos tonight I *think* I'm seeing trap tentacles on them and it appears (to my uneducated eyes) that there are tentacles/glands growing on the petioles...but the plants are so small and the petioles so short I'm not sure. Could the first ones, the parents of these seedlings have actually been D. Brevifolia??

These are D. Filiformis Florida Giant sprouts from leaf cuttings done August 28th. They're going on not quiet 2-1/2 months old. These are from the Florida Giant that elaino sent me. Most are 1/2" to 1" tall. I'm not sure when I should transplant them out of there current home...soggy semi-live sphagnum moss...???

That's it for tonight. Just some bits-and-pieces of some plants. I hoped to get more shots but I forgot to swap batteries out in the camera before I went to the trailer where I have my plants.<sigh> Oh well, next time!!!!

Ooo, those cuttings look nice!

What kind of camera is that? Or is that just your Iphone Camera?

@Carnies, the camera is a Canon 6D...it's aging gracefully.

ETA: @Carnies, I wanted to add that I used a 100mm Macro lens with extension tubes for the photos.

I would say that those are brevifolia. It is an annual sundew but sometimes you can get two years out of them. The produce seed easily and die back after flowering.

Thanks, Panman. I'm learning...a little...maybe.

they're so beautiful and cute
