All the temperate, non indigenous dews I have in the bog seem to be flowering, although the purple/pink capensis has gone already. Yoyu can see the white heads of the binata dotted about. Some D. filliformis and a capensis albaThey do get quite dense although this year isn't as good as previous, which I put down to the reorganisation that occurred in spring when most of them were lost, or at best damaged, as unless you know exactly where they are you generally only find bits of root, which is what the majority of these plants are, root cuttings self set. Cheers Steve

How do the Drosera cope with rain? When I fist got some I thought it would do them good to be out in the rain. The dew got washed off and never came back until new leaves grew

Well after the heavy rain we had Thursday, and last evening, they lost some dew but not enough to wash the prey off. The flowers and foliage are fine and the lost dew is returning in this mornings warmth, even though we have had four short sharp showers. It doesn't look like any of the VF T traps were triggered either, which given the density and size of the drops we had surprises me.
