Dear Seos,

>PS I just had a _Drosera rotundifolia_ (from Bob Maheraj's Canadian seed)
>flower. It is bright pink. All the local (Irish) ones here are white. Does
>anyone know if North American are usualy pink or does it vary?

Did the plant produce fusiform seed (with the testa projecting far beyond
the embryo on either side)? Flower colour may vary in _Drosera_, but there
might be some introgression/confusion involved in your plant.

Kind regards
Jan
