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.
![Those tentacles are the most compelling part of this sundew I think. They're just wonderfully elegant. Drosera allantostigma!](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5540/14455527722_f85d82b3e3_c.jpg) |
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.
![I think this one got nice and big by being in a big pot with lots of room. Lovely! Another angle on the Drosera allantostigma!](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5528/14455527352_4e29b367aa_c.jpg) |
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!
![These probably won't get as big cause they're a bit crowded. Lots of Drosera allantostigma all together looking cute!](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5566/14270284970_6f786bf2d0_c.jpg) |
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.
