My pygmy garden is really starting to come along.
![I'm kinda conflicted about continuing to showcase the Pygmy Garden on the blog. I'm planning on entering it into the BACPS show, but I think that at least a couple of the judges may end up seeing it on the blog, which could deaden some of the impact. Oh well! Blog first, show later. Pygmy sundew garden.](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7465/15931881147_048a85824d_c.jpg) |
The Pygmy Garden is still, uh, progressing. |
Impressive right? Hah. I'm really just putting this picture on the blog as a growth rate reference for later. It's easier to see the development on the individual pots though.
![These were the most expensive of the gemmae I bought, and the only ones that form a serious stem. Can't wait to see how they turn out! Drosera silvicola, pygmy sundew.](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7548/15931882027_571764fe55_c.jpg) |
Drosera silvicola plantlets developing from gemmae. |
![I hope at least a couple of my pygmies are blooming in time for the show. That will really make it pop. Drosera omissa, pygmy sundew.](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7532/16115714631_3255b793e0_c.jpg) |
Drosera omissa plantlets from gemmae. |
![It's funny seeing all the roots try and find their way down past the sand. Drosera barbigera, pygmy sundew.](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7552/15495304814_8cf01e3705_c.jpg) |
Drosera barbigera, still more gemmae than plantlet. |
They're still blending in pretty well with the sand, but I see nice growth over all. It'll get easier once they're a little bigger. Then I can feed them and they'll put on good size. If I can manage to feed them regularly, at least.
The strikes on my
Dionaea muscipula 'B-52' are developing nicely.
![I need to adjust the position of this cutting so the rightmost strike is touching the media. Right now it's floating and I'm worried it may fail. Dionaea muscipula 'B-52' venus flytrap leaf pull.](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7530/15930344620_e93b2e6372_c.jpg) |
It's cool how the strikes are different colors. |
It'd be great if I got 2 plantlets out of this.
Nearby I've got that
Drosera anglica CA x HI that had been ignored when I'd thought the leaf cutting had failed. It was far from the lights, but now I've moved it in to color up some more.
![There's a funky leaf on my old aphid-ridden plant, but it looks like the growth point is all wonky. We'll see how it does I guess. Drosera anglica CA x HI coloring up.](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7502/16091850146_1ac48cf438_c.jpg) |
Starting to show some red. |
There are two plants right up next to each other in this pot too. Nice!
And finally, my
Drosera prolifera just keeps looking great. It's about time this plant started doing well.
![The D. 'Marston Dragon' flower stalk cuttings are looking great too. Drosera prolifera.](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7482/16117635755_7cfbfb518f_c.jpg) |
The dew is finally coming in for these guys. |
