Subject: Germinating Byblis

Hey folks,

I've had some experience growing Byblis, and in my experience some *do*
require special tricks re: germination. While B. liniflora comes up pretty
easily in cultivation without special tricks (possibly a result of
selection by cultivation), B. gigantea and the other species of Byblis
*do* benefit from a quick fire. I have an article on line about how to do
this. The smoke treatments people use may do just as well---I haven't
tried them.

Cheers

Barry
