krs:

Wow! you have _D.cistiflora_? Lucky you! I've also never had any luck
with _D.whittakeri_. What's your secret? I have a tiny (1 cm diameter)
_D.cistiflora_, or at least I did last year. It hasn't returned from
dormancy yet.

My _D.macrantha ssp. macrantha_, _D.stolonifera porrecta_, and
_D.peltata_ subspecies are popping up too. A few pygmies are going
to set gemmae, and my _Sarracenia_ seeds are nearly all ripe.
