Well, I didn't win the lottery, but my mystery seedling is DEFINITELY a
drosophyllum. It kinda looks like a hand with 4 fingers reaching out of the
soil, with the two middle fingers rolled up. However, the cotyledons are
very much underdeveloped...maybe this means not enough light??

Last night, I buried all my sarrs and dionaea in the backyard. I have this
sinking feeling that this bury/dormancy thing won't work, but it seems to
be the best option.

It looks like I might also have a N. Fusca seedling growing, but it's
too early to tell for sure. The other day, I read an old CPN article
that said it some- times takes 6 months or more for Nepenthes seed to
sprout, so here's to waiting!!

Speaking of Nepenthes: Mike, the N. x Hookeriana you sent is doing very
well, and its first new pitcher, a nice FAT one, is about to open. One
of the two aquatic utric's you sent is doing well, the other one bought
the farm courtesy of my cat, who knocked the container over. Bad
kitty!!!
