Drosera peltata grows in Winter! They started coming up a few weeks
ago here in England. Get some seed if you can find some - it seems
easy enough - usually just makes a small rosette (plus tuber) in
its first year, though the best ones might manage the typical
wiry stem. By the second year, growth is fairly typical of the
adult.
