I will be sending seeds from this beautiful Drosera capensis wide leaf to the seed Bank next week. Bolo. You should grow this one if you don't already because it's a wonderful plant. :D

Is there any chance that there are some "Hercules" genes in that plant?

Thanks,

Nope Mike this one is one in a million. I received a single leaf pull many years ago from sermuncher. Aka Alvin Liu.
Here's more photos of her. :D

If only I could get this crossed with all red. My total dream plant of all time would be a big wide chunky dark red capensis. Oh if only :D
Well get "cracking" there, m'dear.

This would look nice crossed with your Beet Red clone or with my Redrum plant.
Next time Redrum flowers, I'll send you some pollen.

But those leaves are amazing! What have you been feeding that thing?!
