Drosera aliciaeSub-tropical, easy to grow. Flowers are hot pink and open very briefly for a few hours with good sunlight. They can be pollinated by insects but are usually self-pollinated. Drosera aliciae is one of the 23 sendew species endemic to South Africa. It is a common species in the Western Cape, its distribution extending into the Eastern Cape. It occurs at altitudes from 30 to 2000 m. The species was first named and published in the Journal de Botanique in 1905 by Raymond-Hamet (1890-1972) who was 15 years old at the time. He named it in honour of Dr. Alice Rasse who encouraged him to study the sundew family. One plant per pot, semiadult or adult.

Drosera aliciae Giant rosette x capensis Large form, Dr. Eberhard Koenig cl.2Drosera aliciae Giant rosette x capensis Large form, Dr. Eberhard König, cl. 2 is a rare hybrid of two rare-ish clones of common plants. Both parents of this hybrid are very large plants, compared to the typical sizes of their respective species. This means Drosera aliciae x capensis grow into an unusually large plant as well. It is a curious plant, somehow familiar and yet somehow ''off''. And the best part? It's very easy to grow!

Drosera binata BURGUNDYDrosera binata Burgundy is a completely deep purple colored plant. Drosera binata is a native of Australia, primarily in coastal areas from Fraser Island in Queensland, southwards down through New South Wales and Victoria to Tasmania and the south-east corner of South Australia. The range extends to New Zealand where it is common below an elevation of 1000 metres, on both North and South Island, Stewart Island/Rakiura and on the Chathams. Some populations go dormant in the winter and may survive down to USDA zone 6, while others are truly tropical. There are three forms described based on how much the leaves are divided: the T-form, multifida and extrema. Drosera binata f. multifida has more leaf divisions than the T-form, bifurcating several times to produce anywhere from eight to 16 or even 30 terminal leaf points.
