happy new year! i have two questions: 1. i germinated d. ordensis in
late spring 1999. the plants are in a mix of 8 parts sand to 2 parts
peat. at this time, the rosette is about one inch in diameter, which
seems small to me. the temperature never drops below 65 F, and tends to
be closer to 72. i've tried varying the light intensity and humidity,
but the little guys never look overly happy. can anyone who has
successfully grown this species from seed share info about compost,
light levels, humidity levels, and growth rates? (if you recommend a
different compost, please advise whether transplanting plants of this
size would be wise.)incidentally, the conditions i've had the ordensis
in seem to suit d. paradoxa just fine. 2. in the back of tony
camillieri's book, he cites a book on pinguicula called "pings and how
to grow them", or something similar. (sorry, i don't have tony's book
at hand.) i've never heard of this book; does anyone have any info
about it? thanks for all--mike
