Drosera 'Albino' Carniv.Pl.Soc.J.(UK) 13:40 (1989)
| CP Photofinder  

Cultivar: Drosera 'Albino' Borret & Farrow
Publication: Carniv.Pl.Soc.J.(UK) 13:40 (1989)
Synonym: =Drosera capensis L.
Originator: R.Borret, Oxford; N.Farrow, Felixstowe, Suffolk, early 1988
Nominant: R.Borret & N.Farrow
Registrant: R.Borret & N.Farrow
Horicultural comment: Registered 10. 11. 1998 {JS}
Standard: Savage Garden:128 (1998), (only second plant from left)
Propagation: leaf cuttings & seed
Etymology: after the complete lack of anthocyanins
Description: Carniv.Pl.Soc.J.13:40 (1989)
"After "growing-on" it became obvious that one plant was unusual for it presented a white flower and not the usual pink colour. The plant was propagated further by leaf cuttings and seed and was found to breed "true" (i.e. white flowers were produced). Another and probably more significant feature of the described form is the lack of red colouration in the leaves and tentacles under various lighting conditions, including strong sun."
Drosera 'Alexandrite Aster' Carniv.Pl.Newslett.45:119 (2016)
| CP Photofinder  

Cultivar: Drosera 'Alexandrite Aster' H.Carlton
Publication: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.45:119 (2016)
Comment: priority for parentage
Synonym: =Drosera aliciae Hamet * Drosera spatulata Labill. * Drosera oblanceolata Y.Z.Ruan
Originator: H.Carlton, Greeley, Colorado, US, early 2014
Nominant: H.Carlton, 12. 2015
Registrant: H.Carlton, 18. 4. 2016
Horicultural comment: Registered 23. 12. 2016 {JS}
Standard: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.45:119 (2016)
Propagation: leaf, scape, or root cuttings
Etymology: after the coloration of leaves and tentacles reminiscent of the mineral alexandrite
Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.45:119 (2016)
"This cultivar can reach in excess of 8 cm across, with a ground-hugging layered rosette of tapered leaves that resemble the flat, spreading petals of asters or windflowers. Up to a dozen or more leaves can be active at any one time. Drosera aliciae Hamet lends not only size to the hybrid but also greater width of the leaves, with tentacles covering more than half the leaf length (Fig. 2). The base color of the leaves is rich olive green, with scarlet tentacles adding a red halo to the leaves, especially notable when viewed against strong lighting, much like the red/green color-changing gemstone Alexandrite. Occasionally, the lamina may also obtain a slight red blush.
The inflorescences of this cultivar may reach up to 50 cm high, with a dappled indumentum of red trichomes and small glandular hairs. Flowers can be 2 cm across, a delicate mauve-pink with egg-shaped petals (Fig. 2)."
Drosera 'Ambrosia' Carniv.Pl.Newslett.40:25 (2011)

Nominant: B.Barnes
Registrant: B.Barnes, 13. 9. 2010
Horicultural comment: Registered 3. 4. 2011 {JS}
Standard: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.40:24 (second plant from right only!), 25 (fig.2) (2011)
Propagation: vegetative propagation by leaf cuttings and division
Etymology: after dark red nectar laden glands reminiscent of divine nectar drink
Description: Carniv.PlNewslett.40:25 (2011)
"Drosera ' Ambrosia ' B.Barnes = (anthocyanin-free Drosera filiformis var. tracyi Diels x Florida all-red form of Drosera filiformis Raf.) retains many traits of the anthocyanin-free Drosera filiformis var. tracyi Diels parent including pale yellow leaves and colorless tentacles, but has the dark red glands of the Florida all-red
form of Drosera filiformis Raf. (See Figure 2). This tends to make the plant appear similar to Drosophyllum Link in many ways. This varies greatly from the description of Drosera ' California Sunset ' Mazrimas, in which the tentacles and glands are "light red to deep pink in color"."
Drosera 'Anemone' Carniv.Pl.Newslett.45:74 (2016)

Horicultural comment: Registered 30. 12. 2004 {JS}
Standard: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.33:87 (2004)
Etymology: after the ease of cultivation and propagation of this cultivar
Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.33:84 (2004)
"Under my cultural conditions this clone Drosera ' Big Easy ' W.J.Clemens has been just that, big and easy to grow and propagate. It produces leaves a maximum of 23 cm (9 inches) long. It has never gone dormant, never flowered or even initiated a flower stalk. Several times I have managed to propagate it from leaf cuttings floating in jars of pure water. It readily initiates buds and plants on any and all pieces of severed root. I have propagated hundreds of plants this way and have traded them widely. Other than its ease of cultivation, which is its most distinctive characteristic, its compact size is a distinctive characteristic of this cultivar."

Etymology: artificial hybrid raised in California
Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.10:95 (1981)
"California grex (sic!) resulted from crossing Drosera filiformis Raf. * Drosera filiformis var. tracyi (Macf. ex Diels) Diels. The cross was originally made in spring 1973 when the parents bloomed at the same time. about 50 flowers were pollinated. In resulting hybrids leaves grow up to 0.5 m. long; tentacles are light red or deep pink in color. Flowers are large like Drosera filiformis var. tracyi (Macf. ex Diels) Diels, color is rose pink and they are borne on tall scapes. Outer margins of flowers are scalloped. The anther lobes are separate and stamen filament is green. Hibernacula seem to be more hairy than Drosera filiformis var. tracyi (Macf. ex Diels) Diels and more like Drosera filiformis Raf.. Drosera ' California Sunset ' Mazrimas is the only selection thus far from the cross and it possesses characteristics of the group as a whole."

Drosera 'Charles Darwin' Carniv.Pl.Newslett.35:68 (2006)
| CP Photofinder  

Cultivar: Drosera 'Charles Darwin' I.Snyder
Publication: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.35:68 (2006)
Synonym: =Drosera rotundifolia L.
Originator: I.Snyder, 10. 2001
Nominant: I.Snyder, Hermosa Beach, CA, USA, 3. 2005
Registrant: I.Snyder, 23. 2. 2005
Horicultural comment: Registered 16. 10. 2006 {JS}
Standard: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.35:69 (2006)
Propagation: possible by seed
Etymology: after Charles Darwin, who devoted most of his book "Insectivorous Plants" to [Drosera rotundifolia {L.}]
Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.35:68 (2006)
"Although D. rotundifolia may not be as clearly variable as Darwin's finches, there are certainly different ecotypes to be found. Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' I.Snyder was created by hybridizing two different parent forms of Drosera rotundifolia L. naturally found in California which I had originally collected in July, 1997. One parent (from Gasquet, Del Norte Co.; a lowland site) had a weak dormancy requirement, while the other was a larger plant (Willow Lake, N. Plumas CO.; a highland site). I had been cross pollinating these in an attempt to develop a plant more desirable for cultivation; in October 2001 I germinated a plant that exceeded all my expectations. Cultivate Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' I.Snyder as you would the tropical form of Drosera anglica Huds. from Hawaii. Like the Hawaiian plant, Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' I.Snyder grows continuously under typical indoor terrarium cultivation. Grown outdoors in temperate regions the plant will produce a protective winter bud as normal for Drosera rotundifolia L.. Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' I.Snyder seed is vigorous and viable, and germinates readily without a cold stratification period. In fact, if the seed is not promptly harvested and dried it often germinates while still in the seed capsule and then rots. While this makes it easy to sow the already germinating seedlings, it complicates the procedure of harvesting seed for storage. Plants flower readily without having to enter a dormancy period first. Drosera ' Charles Darwin ' I.Snyder has proven superior in cultivation to all known natural forms. In many growth trials, growers have remarked that it performs especially well indoors. Cultivation is easy via leaf cuttings. Furthermore, the cultivar's three hallmark traits, seed germination without cold stratification, year-round growth indoors, and ability to flower without having first gone through a dormancy period, are also preserved when the plant is propagated by seed, so the cultivar is available through the ICPS Seed bank."

Standard: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.40:24 (second plant from left only!), 25 (fig.3) (2011)
Propagation: vegetative propagation by leaf cuttings and division
Etymology: after the fiery-orange tentacles and glands reminiscent of a glowing orange popsicle or "creamsicle" as it is called
Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.40:25 (2011)
"Drosera ' Dreamsicle ' B.Barnes = (Florida all-red form of Drosera filiformis Raf. x anthocyanin-free Drosera filiformis var. tracyi Diels) exhibits the pale-yellowish leaf color of the anthocyanin-free Drosera filiformis var. tracyi Diels parent combined with the coloration of the other Drosera filiformis Raf. parent. However, the leaves, tentacles and glands take on a fiery-orange coloration, giving
the overall plant an eerie orange glow (see Figure 3). Once again, this varies greatly from the "light red to deep pink in color" description of the glands and tentacle coloration of Drosera ' California Sunset ' Mazrimas. Both forms exhibit very large showy flowers much like Drosera filiformis var. tracyi Diels and are infused with the lightest shade of pink (see Figure 4), which I attribute to the white-flowered anthocyanin-free Drosera filiformis var. tracyi Diels parent."

Propagation: by seed or vegetative means
Etymology: the plant is predominantly green as are emeralds
Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.35:12 (2006)
"This plant, which I am naming Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' W.J.Clemens, can be distinguished from other Drosera capillaris Poir. plants by the following features. The entire leaf petiole and blade exhibit light to medium green coloration, even when grown in strong artificial light or full sunlight. Other Drosera capillaris Poir. plants, if grown under low light levels, may appear similarly colored, so it is important to compare only plants grown in high light levels. Furthermore, the flowers of Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' W.J.Clemens are white--a somewhat unusual color (although white-flowered plants are occasionally encountered in the wild). Mature plants range between 2.5 and 4.0 cm in diameter when grown in strong light, but may be even larger if grown in lower light levels. Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' W.J.Clemens may be propagated by seed or vegetative means, but no matter how the plant is propagated, in order to retain the name Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' W.J.Clemens, the progeny must exhibit the light green leaf color, white flower color, and maintain the form of the standard, even when grown under conditions of strong light (including full sun). Drosera ' Emerald's Envy ' W.J.Clemens is a tender perennial, persisting throughout the year. My current colony (planted among several pots) has been growing continuously since germinating in December of 2000."

Etymology: after ghost-like colouration of the plant
Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.47:75 (2018)
"In 2014 Drosera ' Ghost ' K.Ivanez grew in my collection between apparently normal, seed propagated Drosera binata Labill.. I separated the plant for its striking white appearance and started to propagate it vegetatively by root cuttings and division. Usually the plant starts with very pale green to white petioles and leaves after winter dormancy (Figs. 2–4). During the growing season, also some normal green leaves emerge; therefore, the plant appears seasonally variable: either with all leaves white, white mixed with green, or for short periods even all green. Usually the white leaves predominate and even after short periods with only green leaves the white color returns. Since 2014, I forwarded the plant to some CP-friends for closer inspection and they all confirmed that the white petioles and leaves occur reliably for three years now. Therefore, the characteristics of this cultivar are stable and not just a seasonal "outlier" due to whatever conditions.
Apart from its color, Drosera ' Ghost ' K.Ivanez grows usually as T-form; however, mature plants temporarily develop also some dichotomous leaves, which are also either white or pale green. For cultivation, it needs the same conditions and requirements like a normal Drosera binata Labill. and the leaves die back during winter dormancy."

Description: Vict.Carniv.Pl.Soc.101:5 (2011)
"Drosera 'Golden Dew' S.Fretwell, G.Bourke & S.Spence is a perennial anthocyanin free tuberous plant that grows in a rosette 3-4cm in diameter. It differs from the typical form of Drosera whittakeri subsp. aberrans Lowrie ex Lowrie & Carlquist by exhibiting lime-green to green spathulate leaves with white, yellow or pale orange glands at the end of clear, to translucent yellow tentacles. In contrast the typical form consistently displays red glands on clear to red tentacles with green to red leaves.
The degree of colouration in the leaves, glands and tentacles of Drosera 'Golden Dew' S.Fretwell, G.Bourke & S.Spence is dependent upon the intensity of light the plant receives. In high light conditions, the leaves will turn lime-green with yellow to pale orange glands on translucent yellow tentacles. In low light the leaves will remain darker green with white glands on clear translucent tentacles.
Like the typical form, adventitious stolons are produced by Drosera 'Golden Dew' S.Fretwell, G.Bourke & S.Spence as a means of asexual reproduction. Drosera 'Golden Dew' S.Fretwell, G.Bourke & S.Spence differs by producing stolons that are yellow instead of orange to red in colour.
Drosera 'Golden Dew' S.Fretwell, G.Bourke & S.Spence produces flowers and tubers that are the indistinguishable from the typical form. The tubers are ovoid in shape, 4-7mm in diameter and orange in colour. It produces 1 to 5 solitary large, white flowers that are 2-3cm in diameter. These flowers are borne on scapes 2-3 cm long from July to September (mid winter to early spring)."

"There was some variability in the seedlings resulting from the original cross, both in form and vigour. Leaf shape in the seedlings varied, from spathulate in some, through to more linear in others. Drosera ' Helen ' S.Morley has linear leaves more like the Drosera ramentacea Burch. ex DC. parent, although young plants can appear to have more spathulate leaves (see Photo 2). The cross has distinctive hairy petioles.
Mature plants grow upwards and form a stem clothed with the remains of older leaves (see Photo 1). Mature rosettes get to approximately 10 cm diameter. Flowers are produced on thin, wiry stems which are not self-supporting, and flowers are fairly typical "Drosera-mauve" and up to 3cm diameter.
The particular individual named as Drosera ' Helen ' S.Morley, shown in Photos 1, 2 & 3, was selected due to its robust nature compared to its siblings, as well as a lack of dormancy. In my greenhouse conditions it grows all year round without any winter or summer dormancy period. In contrast. in the same greenhouse conditions Drosera capensis L. normally goes completely dormant during winter."

"Drosera ' Hercules ' C.Trexler is a clone of the hybrid Drosera ' Albino ‘ Borret & Farrow * Drosera aliciae Hamet. I did not breed this plant and its origins are unknown to me. I acquired it from Matt Byers of California in Fall 2016. Matt has lost his record of his original acquisition.
The plantlet I received from Matt quickly grew into a monster. The growth habit of this sundew primarily resembles Drosera capensis L.. It produces a slowly ascending stem, long petioles, and strap-shaped leaves (Fig. 3). Its flower scapes are long and hirsute, are not glandular, and the flowers are pink. Stipules are present, but are less prominent than in Drosera capensis L., and remain triangular. The tentacles are red, and the whole plant follows the color patterns of a typical Drosera capensis L. when grown under artificial lights.
The qualities of Drosera aliciae Hamet, however, endow this spectacular sundew with strikingly broadened features, including its laminae, which are only slightly wider than its petioles. The leaves last a long time before atrophying, and barely reflex. The result is a broad-leaved plant bearing many erect leaves on stocky petioles.
Auxiliary roots on Drosera ' Hercules ' C.Trexler are produced frequently. The plant has a tendency to clump as well, and its many fleshy roots tend to outgrow their containers.
Drosera ' Hercules ' C.Trexler is a fast-growing specimen with excellent qualities valuable to the horticulturalist. It is resilient and recovers quickly from pruning, fast to reproduce from cuttings, and most of all, impressive. The term Phil Faulisi used to describe Drosera ' Hercules ' C.Trexler was “stud”. Hybrid vigor in Drosera ' Hercules ' C.Trexler is very apparent, in its toughness and the ability in larger plants to produce many leaves at a time. The silent drama of the oar-shaped leaves of Drosera ' Hercules ' C.Trexler ensconcing a maimed cricket is nothing short of satisfying. Displaying large specimens of Drosera ' Hercules ' C.Trexler at Oregon gatherings has drawn the curiosity of many."

"This new cultivar is a manmade selection that differs in two ways from the typical hybrid found in nature. Firstly, this selection is a tropical grower which makes it most suitable for cultivation. The Drosera anglica Huds. parent was a tropical form I previously selected from crossing the tropical Hawaiian strain with a larger temperate one from northern California. Although beautiful, the typical Drosera obovata Mert. & Koch invariably disappoints growers because of its winter dormancy requirement.

"Hybrid seedlings between the varieties (of Drosera binata Labill.) are seldom satisfactory, and I was fortunate in selecting one solitary seedling in 1983 which has proved itself to be of exceptional quality, and which I have named Drosera ' Marston Dragon ' Hort.Slack. Its pendulous stems are up to 36 cm (14 1/4 inches) long and bearblades the segments of which are as wide as those of Drosera binata var. dichotoma (Banks & Soland. ex Sm.) Mazrimas, and are the largest I have seen in this section. They divide irregularly into two to eight points and are the same yellowish green as in Drosera dichotoma Banks & Soland. ex Sm. (sic!), but the reddish pink tentacles render them more attractive. A curious characteristic of the blade is the manner in which the segments spread sideways, often to a great length, the points curving round and clutching the air like talons, the whole reminding one very much of the feet of a chinese dragon. The flowers are large and are borne on long straight scapes, but again hardly seem to suit the weeping habit, especially if the plant is in a hanging basket, and I always remove them. In every respect I advise the same treatment as for Drosera binata f. extrema Hort. ex Gilbert (nom.nud.)."

"Drosera ' Portland Sunrise ' J.Brittnacher & D.Crawford is an apparent hybrid between Drosera filiformis Raf. and Drosera filiformis var. tracyi (Macf.) Diels that resembles Drosera filiformis Raf. more than the horticultural hybrid Drosera ' California Sunset ' Mazrimas (...). The exact history of the plant is not known. In 2006 or 2007, Djoni purchased a plant labeled "Florida Giant Dewthread" from a vendor at the Portland Saturday Market and planted it in her backyard bog. She was told it was sterile. After a few years it spread to a large area in her bog via seeds. Upon further investigation and comparison with another plant purchased from the same vendor at the Portland Saturday Market in 2012, she found that her plants were redder and shorter than expected for Drosera ' Florida Giant ' D'Amato, the plant name specified on the original label. The flowers are typical of Drosera californica Hort. ex Cheek, although they are smaller than those of Drosera ' Florida Giant ' D'Amato. We have not compared them side-to-side with Drosera ' California Sunset ' Mazrimas. In 2013, when Djoni donated seeds from her plants to the ICPS Seed Bank, John queried her as to exactly what they were so they could be listed correctly. She sent him photos and some plants weeded out of her bog. We decided to list them as Drosera filiformis Raf. * Drosera filiformis var. tracyi (Macf.) Diels while the plants were studied further.
The primary diagnostic difference between Drosera ' Portland Sunrise ' J.Brittnacher & D.Crawford and both Drosera ' California Sunset ' Mazrimas and Drosera ' Florida Giant ' D'Amato is the red pigment in the tentacle heads of Drosera ' Portland Sunrise ' J.Brittnacher & D.Crawford does not fade in strong sunlight the way it does in the other two plants. This gives Drosera ' Portland Sunrise ' J.Brittnacher & D.Crawford a red cast while the others are pink. All three have identical bright red tentacle heads when they first form. Some plants of Drosera ' Portland Sunrise ' J.Brittnacher & D.Crawford have red pigment at the tip of the tentacle stalk as seen in northern Drosera filiformis Raf.. The higher amount of red pigment in the tentacles of Drosera ' Portland Sunrise ' J.Brittnacher & D.Crawford makes the plant look like an extremely robust Drosera filiformis Raf.. Other distinct attributes of Drosera ' Portland Sunrise ' J.Brittnacher & D.Crawford are the plants are shorter and tend to clump more than Drosera ' California Sunset ' Mazrimas and Drosera ' Florida Giant ' D'Amato when grown under our conditions."

Robert Gibson was able to provide a positive determination once the plant showed its white flowers, and in August 2002 wrote, "I suspect they are indeed Drosera spatulata Labill. -- the clincher is in the photo of the flower. An older flower, below the open one, has sepal tips that have not closed back over the top of the fruit. This seems to be only found in Drosera spatulata Labill., but is not always developed. The leaf shape, colour and base of scape, plus flower structure all agree with Drosera spatulata Labill.." Ivan Snyder and Greg Bourke, familiar with this species mentioned that it resembled the plants they had seen growing on Fraser Island (Queensland, Australia). This plant is distinguished by its large form: it grows up to 7 cm in diameter, and up to 7 cm high. The leaves that form in the centre of the plant have a slight undulation and arch, being held initially erect, and later becoming decumbent in persistent layers. This habit raises the center of the plant at maturity up to 7 cm from the surface of the substrate (see Figure A). The rosettes of mature plants never lie flat against the substrate. In general habit it is similar to Drosera venusta P.Debbert, for which it was initially mistaken by many experts. The flower of Drosera ' Tamlin ' W.Dawnstar is white. In strong light the plant attains a deep orange-red colouration overall, and is well coloured even in lower light conditions of terraria. Seedlings produced by self-pollination maintain this cultivar's unique characteristics. As such, this cultivar may be propagated both by seed and vegetative means. This plant does not present any particular cultivation challenges: it is a tropical plant that requires no dormancy, and produces large amounts of seed. Vegetative propagation has not yet been attempted. The plant is long-lived - the original plant of this cultivar I obtained two years ago is still thriving in my collection."
