Charles,
In CP digest 1281 you wrote:
left the flowerpots out side.....
and just the other day....i looked and found!
3 plantlets growing in one
1 in the other
species, unknown, may be binata, or capillaris or both
but the pot was left fallow for months!
Both D. capillaris and binata can almost become a nusiance CP (is there
such a thing?). My pots of Dioneae, S. Flava, and S. Purpurea regularly
produce these itinerant species, even though they are nowhere near the
D. cap/binata pots. I grow them outside during the warm months so my
theory is the wind carries these very tiny almost dustlike seeds into
the other pots. Even if your pots did dry out a few seeds of these
species might have remained viable. I guess its just another one of
mother nature's "hat tricks" to sustain these plants.
Developing a 110f tolerant Darlingtonia,
