C>Are they ready to be sown???
They are ready, don't worry.

C>Don't be suprised to see new plants popping up in various pots.
Have you seen little flowers /on the side/ of the pot? :-)
Some of my d. capensis seeds must have fallen into the water, where the
pots are standing, and three plants showed outside, on the walls of two
pots...

A question: I would like to grow some plants from seeds, because I don't
have too much room for the plants. At the moment I have a lot of seeds
from d. aliciae and d. capensis, a few dionaea (VFT), but I don't know if
the dionaea seeds are able to produce plants, I'm waiting for several
weeks, and no plats show. I'm waiting for the flower of my sarr. ?flava?
and one of my sarr. psittcaria (sp?), which I pollinated (voc? sp?)
months ago, but the flowers are still green to yellow, showing no seeds.
The part of the flower, where the seed should be, is very thick, so I
tink the pollinating was successfull, but how long will it take to
produce the seeds?

And I have some flowering utricularia (I think sandersonii, but I'm not
sure, it was a present ;-) but I don't know when and how to collect the
seeds.

I'd like to exchange some seeds, so if anybody interested in receiving
some of the mentioned species, just mail (me or here) the address. I read
about a cp seed bank some time ago, more about that?

Ciao, Daniel.
