Drosophyllum

My Drosophyllum story gets better still yet. Friday I posted a message
about how it seemed that Drosophyllum's photoperiod together with the
moisture level of its growing media seemed to control flowering (2 inch
talle seedlings flowering, etc.).

Well anyway, I went outside to water my other CP this morning and found
that my large plant again was sending up flower stalks. This I guess
blows my theory away. I have been watering the plant only once a week.
We've had a few days near 100F in the past week. If anything I have
been underwatering it! Yet it is flowering again. Fortunately, however,
this time, its only the new growing points from the last flower stalk to
form that are sending up flower stalks. A couple other growing points
on the plant remain unchanged, at least so far.
