I'm another Cactus and Succulent grower in amongst the CPs. I guess
there are just a lot of us who like to grow anything weird (is
it 'wierd' in other countries, or just that people can't spell?).

I'd be interested in a C & S list, so if the any CP people know of
one, or start one, then let me know. The Cactus and Succulent Society
of America (to which my British Society also subscribes) had a
discussion of whether to set up this sort of thing a while ago,
but I don't know if anything came of it.

Anyway, just to mention a CP, what has anyone to say about
Drosera cistiflora. I grew some from seed this spring. I now have
small rosettes, some of which are putting up a central stem. All
I know about it is Slack saying 'largest flowers of all, takes
several years from seed', and someone on the list a little while
ago saying (if I remember correctly) that either 'it's not really
tuberous, or it doesn't really go dormant'.
