I've mentioned it before, but I really love
Drosera allantostigma. It was my first pygmy, and is still far and away my favorite. It's frequently a contender for "favorite plant in my collection."
Just look at this beauty.
 |
| There are like 20 active leaves on this plant. What an amazing rosette! |
It's got everything – a beautiful rosette, lovely colors, delicate tentacles, and nice dew. It's also got a sort of mounded shape when mature that's difficult to capture in a photograph, but really stunning in person.
 |
| It's almost bigger than that Drosera tokaiensis in the middle. My favorite plant. |
I've been growing this particular plant since January, when I received it as a hitchhiker in another pot. I also received some
D. allantostigma during the NASC auction which are now in bloom!
 |
| I'm gonna get some gemmae out of these guys come September. Just you watch. |
They're a bit smaller than the
Drosera helodes flowers, but still super cute. And look how great the plants look too!
 |
| I need a proper camera for good photos of flowers, but these are so cute and cheery. |
I really love this plant. If you grow only one pygmy, this is the one I recommend. It's wonderful.
