Nice plants. The schizandra looks sort of like an ancestral sundew, with "ordinary" looking leaves with dew bearing tentacles.

Nice shots Rick, that pic of D.schizandra is WAY more encouraging than the last one you posted eh?? And D x tokaiensis- tho I have seen MANY of 'em, those are lookin VERY good, the number of active leaves on them is most impressive, thanks for posting these!

Varun, if you want some of them, I have lots, so whenever it ends up being that I make it up there (eventually I guarantee but not driving makes it difficult ) I can bring you a couple of them, they're quite small, the pic is MUCH enlarged

I appreciate that carl. its alright...I understand...its hard to get everything in place to make that trip...it takes quite a while....I drove by St. Catherines, the garden city on my way to niagara on the lake (the best city I have seen) .... I love the rosette shape sundews rather than the lance or the capensis style top growing ones. The dielsania, rotundofolia etc...all fit that spectrum. the only exception is drosera scorpiodes which i foolishly killed the gemnae when brad sent it a little gift ...I love that plant !!

Ahhh- how good are your conditions for P.moranensis, cos if you got D x tokaiensis THAT big, Steves clone should be room-sized in there
