Hey,

A question for Jan and others who are taxonomically interested...
Am I the only one who is absolutely fascinated by _D.heterophylla_?
This is the only _Drosera_ which has neither four or five petals---it has
ten or more! And it also has approximately the same number of anthers. My
plant is flowering now and it is very strange to see.

On another note, all my _Sarracenia_ seed pots I planted in the fall have
seedlings, including several pots of seed from the ICPS seedbank. Those out
there who like _Sarracenia_ should order seed from Tom Johnson
(carnipla@aol.com) and get them while they're fresh!
