Triantha occidentalis and Drosera rotundifolia, Sunshine Coast BC

[beetl_3]

Went out with my father to a small bog on our property. The lakes in this area are filled with drosera. I used to rescue dragonflies from them as a child, now I leave them to the circle of life LOL. I had seen the triantha several times but was unaware that it was carnivorous, so learning about it was very fun! A ton of sphagnum everywhere. As it's our property, I harvest moss here. My drosera at home are all from leaf clippings off some of these guys over the years

Wish I had a piece of property like that! Blessed you are!

Nice Triantha I could not get seeds or plants yet, but hope for the future.
This Drosera looks very much like a hybrid of D. intermedia and rotundifolia. I have seen one once in Denmark. Did not think of a leaf cutting.
Last year it was gone all dried out. The species will come back in better weather conditions, the hybrid not because its sterile.

Be happy to send you some triantha seeds if I can get up to the property before the end of the summer! Will PM you if successful. Sailing BC Ferries is difficult lately :/
