Tragic turn of events

My latest effort to expand my CP collection was to have a D. Capensis x
??? and a Byblis linifolia grow in the kitchen window -- sans terrarium,
plastic pot, etc. They did nicely, with the Drosera putting up up a
flower stalk, and the Byblis hardening a seed pod. Then, tragedy. I went
off for two days (in-laws) and when I returned...someone or something had
eaten the flower stalk, and the entire Byblis disappeared!
(I suspect the cat, but a giant insect is not out of the question).
Now I need a new Byblis. BTW does anyone know how long a D. Gigantea
takes
to germinate?
The reason I let you all know is that, well, when I expained the tragic
events to my wife, well, she, well, giggled. Some people just don't
understand.
