Drosera leucoblasta “Giant Flowers” [Cranbrook, Western Australia]

Drosera leucoblasta “Giant Flowers” [Cranbrook, Western Australia] is an ornamental form of the Australian species Drosera leucoblasta,which features orange flowers. Its name refers to its white stipule bud (leucos = white, blastos = bud). It produces very small and tightly arranged rosettes with narrow, closely spaced leaves and a coloration that ranges from fresh green to deep red. The population from Cranbrook is known for its unusually large orange flowers, which create a striking contrast with the compact rosette. The flowers display remarkable color variability: the center can be red, black, or unpigmented, while the stigmas, filaments, and ovary show shades ranging from green to black. The plant also forms a generous number of gemmae and stands out as one of the smallest and most symmetrical pygmy sundews, making it an elegant miniature for specialised collections.Origin:Cranbrook, Western AustraliaProduct Features:Climate: MediterraneanPygmy sundewsLife-cycle: perennialForm: Very small, dense and symmetrical rosetteLeaf: Narrow leaves with bright glandular tips, green to deep redOrange flowers larger than the typical formAdditional info:For more info & photos visit our blog and our page Facebook and Instagram.
