Drosera aff. lantata is part of the Petiolaris Complex. These particular plants were originally collected around Flying Fox Creek in the Northern Territory of Australia. The leaves turn deep red in intense light and the petioles (stems) are covered in numerous white hairs that give the plant a silvery sheen.

Having been a repeat customer of Curious Plant for years, I have only been completely satisfied with every CP that I have received from them. The plants always arrive in great shape and more times than not, are larger than I had expected. Curious Plant gets my highest rating for service and value and have plants that I am unable to find anywhere else. Highly recommend you get your CPs from them!
