As someone who is not a real big Drosera collector, how do you go about
crossing them? Sarrs. and Neps. are easy, but as D. intermedia and
rotundifolia will self pollinate at the end of the day, how do you get them to
ignore their self gratification urges? I have both species, even though I
don't recall any more new scapes, - maybe next season.
