Hello again... me with the pest problem on my VFT .. again... I have
another question.. I had the opportunity to purchase some VFT's which
had already had the flower stem growing (to 4 inches on some plants.) I
figure this would be a good oportunity to learn and experiment with VFT
propogation so that when my plants go through the complete process I
will be prepared (I mean my plants that have yet to bloom. ) Is there
any special care, or advice that you all may have for me.? I do want to
have seeds.. --Any care needed once the flower blooms? --Any
noticeable point when flowers are ready to be mated? (other than the
rough appearance on the stamen and other parts... ?
--And How long can the seeds be stored, and what methods are best for
storing
them for greater longevity.
--Also what is a good time to plant them (only in Summer?./.. )

Thanks again!
