Sarracenia species identity:
The species were probably geographically
isolated when they evolved. Man's influence (disrupting water flow, and
just trampling around alot) may have brought more into premature contact,
or they may have just bumped into eachother naturally.

>Genetically identical population of D. X Badgerups:
Even one F1 (which is
genetically identical to itself (!) will make a mess of variable offspring
if selfed.

>Auquatic utric flowers.
Hmm, would you care to take up the wager if I give
my own plants a substrate? It would be worth doing to get flowers (I could
press them for our herbarium). I would be most interested in flowering the
unidentifies one. Would substrate encourage flowering in radiata or inflata?

>Humidity
This is interesting! 20% is about what we have outdoors normally isn't it?
I secretly suspect that some terrestrial Nepenthes could take low humidity
also, but who's gonna experiment?
