Sundews

[jon]

I have a few Sundews of assorted species including a Drosera x California Sunset and several smaller ones that were grown from leaf cuttings.  It must be the time of year but they are are turning brown and dying.  They must be going dormant but it seems kind of early.  Anyone else having their sundews starting to go dormant?  I live in the Sacramento, CA area (Northern California).

Unfortunately the only Sundew I have so far don't have a dormancy period.  This will be my first winter with any of my plants.  Would love to see some pics.  Good luck to you!

Yes, this is my first winter season with my plants as well. The Sundees ar e starting to form buds in their center. I included a few pics even at this time they don't look that impressive. A month ago they were really green and thriving.

I went ahead and posted a few of my own too.  I don't have any that are too spectacular.  Your description sounds similar to mine.  I am in Central California, near Modesto, just south of Sacramento.  Always so happy to find someone else with a familiar weather system.  It gets SO hot here I was pretty sure I would lose most of my plants this summer.  I am so tickled but now I am worried about winter.
