Drosera Spatulata ‘giant’
This one has an especially large flower

 

[DennisZ]

This one is really loving the tissue culture conditions so I thought I’d share!

Not sure why but many nurseries have the spelling mistake. It should be Drosera spatulata.

Nice looking plant.

Hi Everyone,

I have a D. spatulata that has been in spike for quite some time now. I haven't seen any flowers open but from what I have read you can blink and miss it lol. I'm wondering if this is ready to be cut for seed collection. The bottom buds are quite dry but I'm not really sure what the seed pods look like. I know the seeds are tiny tiny tiny so guessing the pods are too. I definitely want to do some propagation from these guys. Think I'm good to go?

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

Wait till the pods are brown and dried up. Then usually the seeds are ready. If you wait till everything is all black and dried up, sometimes the seeds may spill.

 

[Jenn999]

Thanks! Appreciate it! I cut the flower spike off my other one because it restricts the growth so much but I would really like to propagate one of them. Trying to decide what to do with my capensis wide leaf and alba... They are both flowering too and I don't have multiples and really don't want to lose them.

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

You'll get lots of seeds.

 

[Jenn999]

Oh I know! Lol

After you have collected the seeds, cut the stock and put it in distilled water. I've read many times that it's a sure way to get new plants. I'm trying it now - no results yet, but it has only been a couple of weeks.

 

[Jenn999]

Cool! It makes sense, basically like doing a leaf cutting propagation in water. I'm gonna try it!

I saw some ,"Spatulata" at Cedar Rim here Langley BC and they are spelt "Spathulata" yeah it's strange they don't spell them right.

Does it originate from Hawaiian botanicals? because mine also have the same tag as yours.

Looks like this is why.

Drosera spatulata was first described by Jacques Labillardière in his 1804 publication Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen. In 1824, D. spatulata was included in a publication by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, but misprinted as Drosera spathulata, an incorrect spelling that is still common today

Yes came from H.B.
