Subject: A question about Drosophyllum!

Firstly thanks to everyone who helped me out last year, especially to
Clark Brunt (?) who sent me some seeds of Darlingtonia.

Last year I asked about germinating Drosophyllum, and received lots of
good advice (*thanks*). Following it, something germinated after about a
week. However, although its roughly in the right place in the pot, I'm not
convinced its a Droso. Obviously the baby leaves it germinates with
(sorry, the scientific name for them escapes me, but I'm just not a
botanist!) will not be carnivorous, but should all of the following
leaves be? This plant has also put on two or three other leaves and they
are certianly not what one would expect an adult Drosophyllum leaf to
look like.

All help would be useful; I don't want to be carefully tending a weed!

Have a good new year,

Phillip Cook
