Subsp. peltata and subsp. auriculata (sp?)? I wonder if
that's what you mean, since some people say the latter is a
seperate species...

Yeah, I was thinking this could be the reason for the low
count also, but then how can you tell between D.pel. and
D.salina? Is that second one even in cultivation, to your
knowledge?

Yeah, I received them right before I left to spend a week w/
Tom Hayes. Infact, we both somehow, very recently received
lots of seed and other propagative bulbs and spend about half a
day splitting the packets and potting them up. It was great
timing! Thanks for sending it when you did, since if I manage
to kill my pot of them, at least Tom will still have some. (I hope!)
I still have to send the D.brevifolia seed to you right?
Everything has been so hectic I'm not sure who still needs what...
Any clues as how to grow out D.glandugera (sp?) to get seed
from them? I tried a little in a pot set up for Drosophyllum
which likes very dry conditions compared to every other CP I've
grown... The Droso's are happy but I have a feeling it's much
too dry for any Drosera. I still have some seed left and I'm
hoping to get them in the right set up.
Thanks,
Dave E
