Hi,
>Is it normal for B. liniflora to drop the petals and anthers after

The majority of flowers I've had remain on the plant, only the odd
one has dropped off. I haven't been growing them for all that long,
so I couldn't say if it were normal or not, but I'd guess not.

Sort of. All known hybrids containing D. nitidula have red stigma's.
The only similar hybrid (that I am aware of) that also contains
nitidula is D. x "carbarup" which can be distinguished by it's
multiple flowering scapes, and light pink - white flowers. D. x
badgerupii usually has single flowering scapes (there is the odd
exception of course) with white flowers.

Sorry, can't help you there.
Hope this helps,
Kris
