CP CLUB THURSDAY for September 5th, 2024
Welcome to #cpclubthursday
🌟NOW 180 MEMBERS !🌟
SPECIAL FEATURE: The 3 Sundew Sisters:
Tropical Sundews - the Drosera adelae, D. prolifera, and D. schizandra. #3sundewsisters
I have extracted the following information on these 3 sundew sisters:
Originating from tropical Australian Queensland, Drosera adelae, D. prolifera and D. schizandra, three closely related species, are considered as the 3 Sisters. These species are endemic to far north Queensland. They are unique to the genus in that they are found growing exclusively in rainforest habitat.
Peter D'Amato has referred to Drosera adelae, D. prolifera, and D. schizandra as the three sisters from Queensland. The leaves of mature plants are about as different looking as any sisters could be but they are more closely related to each other than they are to any other Drosera. And like any three sisters, each has different growing preferences. But they are united in that juvenile plants do have similar leaves and the flowers are similar as well.
The tropical Drosera adelae, D. prolifera, and D. schizandra are about as close as you can get to jungle sundews. There are other Drosera that live in tropical regions and overlap the range of these species such as Drosera burmannii, D. indica, D. banksii, and D. spatulata, but they are not restricted to the wet tropical habitats and are definitely not jungle or rainforest plants.
Well, actually, there is now a new sister! Recently a fourth "sister" was discovered and it was named Drosera buubugujin.
For anyone really interested, I recommend the following video:

I have added many posts about the conditions and care of various CPs in previous #cpclubthursday so I recommend people follow the hashtag, may of them also have my own group #seymour so may be easier to find there.
Add any interesting Carnivorous Plant (CP) facts, photos, or anything CP-related for this week.
Or ask a question of our members related to CPs
Join the CP just by clicking the link #cpclubthursday and clicking join. That is all it takes! Too easy! Shall we make it to 180 members ?
There is already a wealth of CP so why not just join our growing CP community at #cpclubthursday!
Happy Chompys 😊🪰🦟🚫

@Sassylimey Hi Sarah, I basically answered this question recently so rather than typing it out all again, I’ll share the link but in short I don’t think cutting the flower stem makes a radical difference to the VFT

@stephonicle Hey Stephanie, I was just reading your fantastic answer about False Shamrocks ! 😀 It seems to be a common question about CPs and flower stalks. I’m waiting for my VFT flower stalk to flower @Sassylimey I say if you cut the stalk, you’re missing out on an added bonus with your VFT! My VFT still has a profusion of trap leaves despite the stalk !

@Popcornjoness Hey Aja, please share some photos and add #cpclubthursday so we can all enjoy them when they arrive ! Pings are cool 😎
Hey Evelyn, I think I know the tea berry gum but I am posting what I learnt when I checked about it. We had a similar cinnamon mint flavored gum here in a similar color but I cant recalled what it was called for the moment?
Teaberry Chewing Gum was first introduced in the 1900s and has an unusual flavor falling somewhere between cinnamon and mint. "Teaberry" is a slang name for Wintergreen through the Southeastern United States where it grows wild.
Teaberry Gum was originally made by Clark Brothers Chewing Gum Company, located in Pittsburgh, PA, which is where CandyFavorites is based!
Here's a piece of fun candy trivia - Clark Brothers was also the same company that introduced the Clark Bar!
In 2018, Teaberry Flavored Gum disappeared from well-appointed candy counters only to return in 2021 after the trademark and formula were acquired by the same company - Verburg - that brought back Beemans, Blackjack, and Clove Gum.

@UltraKoreanfir Love the “breath perfume” reference ! We’ve had candy that has been discontinued, then it has a sudden revival and then it is gone for good! When I think of the one like Teaberry Gum, so can immediately recall the taste of it even though it’s been years since I have had one !
There’s a US candy store I know, next time I am near it I will see if I can find any such classics like these !
