<< I just acquired a pot of Drosera burmanni yesterday. I understand that it
is
an annual, and that to keep it up in your collection you have to keep
growing it from seed. The person I bought it from said that it takes 6
months for the seeds to germinate. Is this true? How do you treat the
seeds - do you just sow them in the pot? >>

In my experience, D. burmanii is one of the most invasive sundew weeds in the
greenhouse. Just sprinkle seeds on damp media, keep it in a warm, bright
area, and you'll never be without them. I find I spread them unwittingly
since the seed is so tiny. Germination is about 6 weeks.
