Have I done everything correctly to stack the odds in my favor
to create a new VFT? When is the optimum time to cut the flower
stalk (the parent is putting up another stalk!)? Should I keep
the plastic bag over the newly cut stalk? For how long? What new
growth will I see next (if I'm lucky)? Should I let the stalk
dry a little first before planting it?
Another comment - all my Drosera are flowering like CRAZY... interesting
thing is that a friend got some rosette-type Drosera from people on
this list, but she couldn't remember exactly what they were. She gave
me a clump to grow. Anyhow, I potted the clump she gave me...
they are now putting up different colored flowers - some pink,
some white! I studied them carefully....they all LOOK to be the same
kind of plants, but must not be, right?
Here are work I have some S. purpurea babies....a *tiny* D. capensis
somehow got in there, too, and it has put up the tiniest flower stalk
I've ever seen on any plant before. Maybe I should photograph this
next to a dime or something smaller, like a pinhead! :-)
Thanks for all your help! :-)
