Many of these (supposed) hybrids are cultivated and fertile (and
interfertile, germinating especially in nearby pots among other
species ;-)), contributing to the considerable confusion among
growers regarding the application of some names. This situation is
influenced (to the worse) by the very common superstition that all
_Drosera_ hybrids *must* be sterile. However, this is *DEFINITELY
WRONG*!

Kind regards
Jan
