My nitulda X occidentalis (pygmy drosera) is sending up white
flowers and so is my drosera aliciae. How do I make sure they get
seed? I am not a botanist, so can you explain it in laymans terms!
I think my capensis is a self pollinator so does that mean I don't
have to worry about doing anything to the flowers and that I will
automatically get seed?

Dean,
about my VFT that has 4 deformed traps: I could not find any aphids
and I looked carefully(my VFT is on the windowsill). Its very sad
because theses traps are big , but deformed. The soil is coverend with
algae so I don't know if thats the problem. I have decided to
replant the VFT and wash away the old soil and replant it bare root
in new soil. I know this may shock or kill it, but I can't get any
enjoyment from my VFT looking at the new trpas coming up deformed.
Dio
