4 of the largest seedlings as of 8/22. Notice the two smaller seedlings with wide lamina
Drosera natalensis is an easy growing, South African Drosera species. To me, it looks a lot like other rosetted subtropical sundews, and it grows as easily as plants like spatulata, alicae, and venusta. (It's interesting to note this group of sundews are often confused and mislabeled as each other; venusta used to be considered a synonym of natalensis). However, anyone who's grown these plants can easily tell them apart. This location from Inanda Road, and most of the very few pictures that exist of these have very wide, wedge shaped lamina. While most of the seedlings I own are still small, they seem to be a mix of typical natalensis and wide, wedge shaped leafed plants. Hopefully, these seedlings grow into the cuneate leafed plants this location is famous for.
