Where in the world are you? aol.com has become meaningless these days
- they can be from anywhere. My tuberous Drosera (e.g. peltata,
erythrorhiza, stolonifera, etc.) all grow in Winter. Here in the N.
hemisphere, some are flowering now, and after that will die down.
Whilst you may well persuade them to grow at other seasons, I can't
imagine them growing continuously, since the growth is annual, and
is supposed to die down. At the same time a new tuber should be
forming for the next season.
