Pygmy sundews are a subgenus (Bryastrum) of Drosera that are all very small. Native to western Australia, these plants grow in sandy soils that experience cool wet winters and hot dry summers. They reproduce using small brood bodies called gemmae, and often become dormant in warmer weather, dying back to a cone shaped mass of stipules. Drosera x Dork's Pink is a hybrid between Drosera callistos and Drosera lasiantha. I haven't grown this hybrid very long, but it appears robust and vigorous. The traps are red and rounded, and the petioles are relatively thick. I've yet to flower this plant, but they're supposed to be a nice, salmon pink color. Mature plants I've seen grow into a ball shaped plant, covered with sticky traps.
