Hey any of you guys grow this beauty? I was given a few of these pretty sundews a long time ago... but had to let them go due to my relocation of my office years ago. I remember this Australian fellow, a Mr. Tsang, who discovered it and named it after his friend Dr Falcon. The plant had created a major stir - and had people saying that it was the "missing link" between sundews and VFTs: I was reminded of falconeri , when a few of us had been talking about it's cousin, D prolifera. There's been a few of them available on eBay, but only ships within the US So if any of you are growing D falconeri... I'd like to make a bee-line to your front door No seriously, I'm getting trading mood happy. David

Hmmmm.... I might have a line on these sometime in the future, a friend on mine has a pretty good sized collection and I THINK he has them in TC... I will definitely make a HUGE noise if I end up with one/some

Here's another photo I lifted from Best Carnivorous Plant's website: They sure look like VFTs with flattened traps! I also found some for sale on ebay... they're going for $79 (US)... mind you, he also has some baby ones for $19 each ... and his B 52 VFTs are going for US$29.

lol! I personally wouldn't spend more than 50$ on a single plant...any plant...unless its like a large rajah or a large villosa (like a 7 inch pot or so)...and personally I am not that taken with sundews... I like them...but not as much as VFT's or neps. they are cool to have....everyone needs atleast one...but meh! I wouldn't go for an exotic rare one like that.

50$ for a nep is passable... But for a Drosera Kind of better of without it... Anyway Cya
