That's very interesting to hear here ; what type of _Sarracenia_ ? purpurea?
What was the longest period below zero temperatures? Here in Oulu we have now
had the first nigth frosts but I have not decided to let my _Dionea_ or
_Sarracenia_ out for the winter.
BTW I am going to put my _Dionea_ for the winter to a cellar where the temps
are between +4 and +6 Celsius. How long should it be there? How long is
the normal dormancy period of _Dionea_ in the wild?
Rick: what is the status of your WWW archive?
