In reading over the previous articles, there was mention of premature death
of D. glanduligera plants. Mine have all croaked just as they were putting
up flower stalks! I had four plants - I cut the flower stalk off just as
it was forming on the last plant when I saw the first plant had died when it
was just about to open its first flower. This last plant then appeared to
be a little healthier than the rest, but it eventually just died like the
other three.

What's the deal with U. nephrophylla and U. reniformis? The current CPN says
U. nephrophylla has small leaves and U. reniformis has large leaves. I have
a plant labelled U. nephrophylla (I think from Barry) that has large leaves
at least 4 cm. in diameter. The article in CPN says U. nephrophylla has
small leaves not larger than 1 cm. in diameter.

My D. falconeri are growing strong. They looked to be dormant when I
got them from Robert Allen, but they started growing when I put a
plastic bag over the top of the pot. There is no lamina yet - just a
little hairy knob at the end of the petiole, but they appear to be in
good shape.
