Flowers on Drosera petiolaris. The type species of the Petiolaris complex of sundews from northern Australia, these plants are finicky in cultivation because they’re adapted to harsh conditions in the wild. Boiling got pretty much year round, bone dry for half of it and swamped the other, in very sandy grainy soils. They’re also known as the woolly sundews as many have either year-round or only during dormancy leaves or buds that are covered in dense fuzzy hairs.

Nepenthes graciliflora “Surigao.” One of two forms of this species I grow; once lumped into N. alata, the split from that species has created significant confusion as many graciliflora, hybrid, and other species continue to be mislabeled as the rather uncommon alata. While that species is quite restricted in range, this one is found through most of the eastern Philippines.
