Hi Ivan,

There was a rumour that Adrian Slack had a Drosera/Dionaea hybrid for
a while, but it was always a sickly plant. I've been experimenting
myself - nothing scientific, just whatever happened to be in flower.
No luck so far. Which Droseras did you manage to cross Dionaea with,
and which was the seed parent?
