>N. X hookeriana.
Yeah, I got the id on this from the label in the pot
at Uconn. The plant was purchased from a local nursery. But expect
variation in this hybrid too! Especially take into consideration the
variablity which already exists in the parent species! It still could be
an F1. I thinks these hybrids are made very infrequently, and they obviuosly
don't self.

>N. X williamsii
Low humidity tolerant?! Very interesting. IGOR! Start de expereementz!!

Barry, I din't know you grew this. Do tell more.

I substrated a cutting of U. striata and the unknown utric. A few weeks
ago I accidently spilled some distilled water on my P. lusitanicum I
poured it out of the pot fast but the damage was done. At least half
the little plants rotted. Talk about finiky! they must only grow in
the Spanish dry season?!

Barry: a P. primuliflora and Drosera "retching-Gary" have been outside for a
week and like it.

Barry, about Utrics and substrate: How do they KNOW they have a substrate?
How can they sense it? Why do they care? Why does it make them flower?
ARRG.
