Dear Loyd:
I would be very interested in reading such an article. My experience with
Drosophyllum has been less than successful. A bit difficult for a northern
apartment-deck gardener, but for a while the plant was thrifty and
vigorous.
Although I did manage to keep one for over two years and to a height of 28
cm, it did not survive it's third winter. I suspect that it got too wet
around the stem base and could not recover. It was truly unusual and, I
thought, quite attractive glistening in the sun, while it lasted.
Kind Regards,
Rand
