Drosera ultramafica x spatulata

She’s currently sending up four separate flower spikes, the flowers bloom for such a short time I have yet to actually see one open!

So glorious! The moss looks so pretty too

Thank you! I spent an hour jamming sphagnum moss one strand at a time into the substrate like a crazy person 😅

Absolutely gorgeous plant! Apparently Drosera anglica grows naturally a bit North of me, but hasn't been spotted in a few years. I'd love to find one in the wild.

Nice! What's the substrates?

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

Peat and perlite mostly, I use this mix from Amazon topped with live sphagnum (and some star moss hitchikers)
