Known as the Forked Sundew, it is easy to see how Drosera binata red got that name. The long upright leaves form a "Y" shape at the extremity. The erect stems can reach 20 inches high or more and branched in upper part.
The most well known species of carnivorous plants. Traps have a limited number of false alarms. Don't stimulate them too often. Artificially springing the trap drains the plant's energy.
The trap of the Venus Flytrap is one of Nature's most amazing marvels. The outer edges of the two clamshell-like halves are lined with nectar glands and stout bristles.
The hybrids can be highly variable, but they should be upright, very red, looking like Sarracenia flava but with the caracteristic lid of Sarracenia purpurea venosa.
This is an unusual plant that looks very different from any of the other Sarracenia. The pitchers have what almost looks like a beak above the small mouth of the pitcher, hence the common name Parrot Pitcher Plant.
Seeds from Nicholson area, Mississippi. They trap their prey by offering them nectar to sip which is secreted around the lip of the plant and also at the base of the lid.
Glittering and often delicate, Byblis, the Rainbow Plants, can sometime appear as frosted sprays of water, and in sunlight can sparkle with multicolored hues.
Protect from dry freezing wind during deep freezes by covering the plant with black plastic. Uncover the plant when the deep freeze and dry freezing wind is over.
Sarracenia alata Red Throat is green with a red interior lid and a red throat. Although this carnivorous plant looks its best in September, it produces delicate looking yellow to cream colored flowers on tall stems in the early Spring.
This species differs visually from the more Northern variety by being slightly larger and the glands on the tip of the tentacles are greenish. The Southern Dewthread produces fertile pink flowers in April.
The rosettes are flat and about 4 cm across. The leaves are spoon-shaped. The upper surface of the light green leaves, have a covering of sticky tentacles which are a dark pink or brilliant red.
This plant produces attractive deep red flowers in Spring, and are up to 2.5 inches, 6.5 cm across. The pitchers are produced each year from stems arising from the rhizomes and remain evergreen.
Drosera ramellosa is a small plant, to 12 cm high. It grows first as a rosette. Then a scape appears bearing leaves in the form of fan. The flowers are white to pink.
The species can grow nearly ten inches tall. The leaves are oblong, linear to spatulate. The upper surface of the leaves have a covering of sticky tentacles, that attracts preys.
Requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between waterings. Water must be distilled or rain water because they do not tolerate city or hard water.
