WoW! Lots of neps by the beach. And the drosera is so red. By the way, where is Bako national park located?

It just 1 hour bus + 20min boat ride to get there from kuching. The landscape at the park is beautiful and many plants n animals to see. Next time you go kuching remember to go there for a visit  |

Wow! I agree with plantlover. The drosera is so red and nice! Hmm, does it look like spatulata? The leaves does not look as broad as burmanii. Boon Leng, in the second picture, what substract is the Drosera growing on?
Love the Platicerium and ant plants too.
Your first picture right at the top, those are albo uppers?

Hi David, The drosera is so red coz it's direct under the sun, those that under the shade are green. They grow mainly on sand with a bit mud.   Yes, the 1st picture are albo, this is a more close up view.  Another cliff with gracilis.  |

If this Drosera is D. spatulata, then there is only one more species to look out for in the wild. Robert has shown us D. burmanii. We're left with D. indica. Would love to see pictures of this species, or even better see it in person in the wild.
Last Sunday, Lim told me that D. peltata was found in Thailand. If this is true, who knows D. peltata might be growing in the northern states of Peninsular Malaysia.
