Well, I've finally started to understand how to grow tuberous Drosera
properly, and in the process killed off about 5 tubers and plenty of
seedlings. You've had better luck than I, although I gather that the
two species you're talking about are some of the easier ones (although
I did manage to kill my auriculata!)

I'd like to talk more, but I am being overwhelmed by mail right now.
I have to get back to editting all this stuff, and making some sense
out of it...

P.S. Germinations from my D. coccicaulis, venusta, and admirabilis.
B. gigantea seedlings (5) still alive, the largest is almost 1" tall.
