You sound like a real person, with a real life, and more
importantly, a real backyard :-). We of lesser space must
ration our space carefully, and look for new places (like our
offices) to grow plants...

Sure, send 'em all. The mark of a REAL CP'er is how many weeds
he has...

BTW, my D. agnata now seems like it may have two developing seed
pods, but the stem on the oldest one is now drooping. Do they
normally droop before drying out? P. stalks seem more vascular,
i.e. squishy, than drosera stalks, and I'm sort of wondering when
to start looking for seed. The previous non-seeded flower dried
up from the flower end down to the plant, which behavior seems
different from that of the current stalks.
