Winterwachsende Drosera 2022/2023

[Dose]

Hallo Zusammen!

 

Da es dieses Jahr noch keinen Threat zu den winterwachsenden Drosera gibt und ich diese Pflanzen einfach zu spannend finde und ich mich immer wieder an euren Fotos erfreue, beginne ich mit ein paar Aufnahmen.

Ihr seid herzlich eingeladen eure Fotos der winterwachsenden Drosera dieser Saison hier zu teilen, ob aus dem Gewächshaus, von der Fensterbank oder von wo auch immer.

 

Los geht es:

 

Drosera squamosa oben und dazu ?

 

 

D.aberrans, Maldon

 

D.andersonia "white flower" beginnt in die Höhe zu schieben

 

D.magna

 

D. aff. macrantha "rockoutcrop form"

 

D.tubaestylus

 

D.imbecillia

 

D.squamosa

 

D.rupicola "red"

Hi Alex,

 

wie immer ein paar super Fotos! 
Man könnte denken es seien Fotos vom Naturstandort, wenn man die Töpfe nicht sähe. 
Verwendest du teilweise Lehm aus Frankreich?

 

Grüße Carsten
 

[Alex84]

Danke Carsten!
Yes, I live next to a village called Roussillon where ocher was extracted until the 1980s to make pigments for paints or house plasters.  This ocher is composed of sand and clay rich in ferric oxides, but also contains laterite pebbles and corresponds to the physico-chemical ground that could be found in Western Australia. So I mix this ocher with my traditional substrate (40 peat / 60 aquarium sand) and I get what you can see in the pictures. This is how the surrounding lanscape of the village looks like.

Great pictures as always, Alex and Carsten!

Das Substrat aus Frankreich ist sehr interessant! Eine Frage noch: Ich habe oft Probleme mit der "Übersommerung" einiger Arten, während andere keine Probleme machen - habt Ihr da Tipps?

Wäre auch sehr an einigen Knollen interessiert, gebt Ihr im Sommer welche ab?

Eigene Bilder folgen...

LG, Peter.

[Alex84]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your compliment!

Which species do you have estivation issues with? 
And for the tubers, it is impossible for me to know in advance what I will have exactly.  But if I had surplus next summer, I would probably put some on sale.

Liebe Grüße

Alex

Servus,

jetzt auch ein paar Fotos, manche blühen bald, andere kommen grad raus..

D. abberans

 

D.macrantha

 

D. andersoniana sollte es sein...

 

D. erythrorhizza

 

D. stolonifera kommt gerade, hab ich leider nicht ganz scharf bekommen

 

Werde jetzt auch auf französischen? Laterit-Lehm umstellen!!

LG, Peter.

Hallo Peter,

Have you ever thought of going to see what the ground of the Erzberg mine in Eisenerz looks like? It is an iron mine and not an ochre one, but perhaps you could find laterite or at least a soil containing iron oxides around the site?

Grüß

Alex

[Peter]

Yes, could be. I also got some Laterit-like soil from an garden soil supplier and will try that out also...

Gutes neues Jahr, lG, Peter.

Hallo

 

Ich bin nun endlich auch dazugekommen ein paar Bilder zu machen

D. marchantii Coolup

 

Eine Detailaufnahmen der Blüten

 

D. abberans Maldon

 

D. aff. rosulata

 

D. basifolia

 

D. andersonia

 

D. macrophylla Midway Form, York

 

Und dann kann ich euch noch 3 unterschiedliche Drosera aus dem cistiflora Komplex zeigen die derzeit noch alle cistiflora heißen, da wird sich aber in Zukunft sicher bald etwas ändern.

cistiflora Moedverloor mit lachsfarbenen Blüten die dünne längliche Blätter hat und relativ groß wird.

 

Eine weiße Form mit leicht breiteren Blättern von Stanford

 

Eine Form mit noch breiteren Blättern von der Pringle Bay Blütenfarbe noch unbekannt ich vermute aber weiß

 

Gruß Roman 

[Dose]

Roman,

 

richtig schöne Pflanzen und Bilder.

 

Dazu ergänze ich eine dir wohl bekannte D.cistiflora, Hermanus, white:

 

Gruß

 

Carsten

Declination of Droseras squamosa varieties!

[Sonja Schweitzer]

If you don’t mind, would you please label them another time?

These are a must habe for me!

[Alex84]

Hello Sonja,

 

So from top to bottom and from left to right, you have:

- laterite growing form clone #1

- sand growing form clone #1

- laterite growing form clone #2

- sand growing form clone #2

- Yarloop form

- Scott River form

- sand growing form clone #3

- sand growing form clone #4

I see, you will get many orders for tubers from them next summer, Alex!

[partisanengärtner]

Some people here looked for a laterite source. As your picture show they were on the right track.

It makes a difference.

 

[Alex84]

Many people have asked me for my substrate since I published my photos. I do not know if the clay, the iron oxides and the bauxite it contains have a real impact on the plants in terms of growth and colors, but it is true that I have never had such results before, even if the very strong thermal amplitudes and the strong sun that I have while cultivating outdoors are surely also for something there. So as it seems that this type of soil is only found where I live in all of Europe (You can google « Roussillon, Vaucluse, Provence » to see how the landscape looks like), I think I will be able to offer some next summer to those who would be interested. By shipping it by Mondial Relay, the shipping costs would be reasonable for 2 or 3kgs.

Thanks Alex, that would be great, if it is not too much trouble for you, I think at least some of us would be glad to get some "Provence Laterit"!

Hello all, 
A few photos taken last December when the temperature dropped to -2°C for a few nights and which show that tuberous Drosera are resistant to light frosts. Nevertheless, the temperature always rose to around 15°C during the day.

Wow, mit Reif drauf sehen sie noch schöner aus! Tolle Fotos!

Hübsche Droseras 

[Dose]

Hi Alex,

 

pygmae drosera seem to be also a little bit tolerant to light frost.

They have no problems, if the temperature is above 0*C during the daytime. That is similar to your observations of the tuberous drosera.
But they die, if there is a longer periode of frost when the temperature does not increase during the day. 
Some survived 2 weeks when the temperature was contantly below 0*C down to -8*C, but this is exceptional.
I would not recommand this but it shows how resistant these plants are.

Nice pics!

Best regards

 

Carsten

Thank you very much for sharing. I was wondering if it is the same thing

[Peter]

Wohl nicht ganz dasselbe, aber man kanns mal ausprobieren...

Hier noch ein paar Fotos, wenn auch nicht so schöne:

D.andersoniana, schon etwas größer

D. stolonifera gibt langsam auch Gas...

D.rupicola auch

D.whittakeri blüht, etwas größer als abberans:

D.abberans

Viel Erfolg Euch allen noch in dieser Knollensaison! LG, Peter.

I really don’t know, but beware of manufactured products as chemicals may have been added. You have to experiment! But as I said before, ocher and laterite don’t do all the job. It is especially the strong thermal day/night amplitudes and the strong sun that I have here that make the results!
