At the end of the summer I shook the dried flowers in a glass
the way I do to collect my drosera seed. Seeing nothing that
looked like seed to me in the glass I spread the contence over
several pots that I left in my green house for the winter, also
crushing the remains of the flowers and leaveing then on the
same group of pots. Hand pollinating all summer had been a
lot of work and this was a move of desperation. About July or
so last summer I found the seedlings while looking for some
Drosera seedlings in the same pots. My green house avg. temp.
in winter is 45 deg F with lows of 33 deg. F % RH rarely is
less than 95 %. Summer avg. day temp. 80 deg. to 85 % RH
60 % Summer nights 55 deg to 60 RH 75 to 95 %
