Oops, I sent my last message to the listserver instead of the cp group.
Rick, thanks for forwarding it to the group.

Anyway, if anybody is interested in D. spatulata seeds, let me know at
gdughi@snlndro.cerf.fred.org or, soon, at gdughi@snlndro.acme.fred.org.
The address will change some time in May - as we are being told. I would
also be interested in Pinguicula seeds; as stated in my last post.

I do not have a terrarium set up now, but I plan to put together a small
solar-powered fan to circulate air over my few orchids in the apartment.
I have an old solar RwalkwayS light that is not working. The solar cells
will power a small battery-powered fan that I bought for $0.98. Perhaps
a small fan would help keep mold down in a large terrarium. You would
just have to put the fan inside the terarium. Keep the terrarium at least
partially covered to preserve humidity. The plants would surely
appreciate the air circulation.
