Done.

Hello,

my name is Christian Dietz from Germany. I am new to this forum as well as to the society. This is my first post here. My main interest in CPs is in Drosera, Utricularia, Genlisea and Sarracenia.

Last weekend, the AGM of the GFP (german cp-society) took place. In the lectures, there was a great talk about north-australia. For me, the most impressive plants shown in the lecture was Drosera indica (in the broadest sense). I am already growing a large green form of this plant, that is most likely from south-africa. I would like to try some australian forms as well. So, if anyone has seeds of interesting forms (best with location details), please contact me.

regards,
Christian

You bet I caught a fish!, was a ripper at that see below. A few years ago a Drosera binata var.multifida F.extrema plant was found near you with 54 forks on it, well worth a search.

Time for a few more photos.



It was this BIG!!!



22 fork binata or was it 26?



little binatas



Drosera pygmaea

You should be able to find plenty of Carnivorous plant species in your local area, just have a look around the low lying costal heath near drainage areas along road sides and other wet places, electircity poles that are around are usually a gold mine because the council has to cut the grass for easy access this gives the plants a good advantage. look the photo below to see what I'm taking about. Were you find one species of Cp such as burmannii or spatulata you will usually find more, keep an eye out for Drosera auriculata,pygmaea, Utric lateriflora and uliginosa.

G'day Mr Persons

Yeah i'm thinking i did.

Thanks! So you catch any fish? Iv'e never looked for cp's around here but i have seen plenty of sundews at station creek, not to far from me down south way.

Not far up the road from you Bree is a fantastic Cp site, Evans Head. I went down last Sunday to check out the Fishing comp, have a throw and get on the pis. No such luck though. Have you found much at Yamba?.

I think the biggest binata leaf I found had 22 forks, not bad!.

A little bit of interesting trivia for Greg, that Drosera binata multifida F.extrema site that we had to follow the seep up the hill that you showed me has seemed to have a fire go through it since I visited there two years ago with Chris, there are little red binata's everywere! and the sedges are starting to grow back abit, do the binata flower and reproduce after a bush fire?.
