>Until 1990, I grew a sp of Drosera which was collected for me on
Mt.Karo
>Tepu in Guyana (a tepui on the Venezuelan border). The plants were in
>poor condition when I got them but thrived in no time. They were
>semi-erect, 3-4 cm wide and turned dark red under fluorescent lights.
>They also had small white hairs under their leaves. At the time, I
>remember having given cuttings to a couple of people. Does anyone have
>this plant? Have any guesses as to what it could be? (my guess at the
>time was D.roraimae) I just went through some old seeds I had stored
>before I took a break from CP and discovered a few flower scapes I had
>collected from my plants when they bloomed 7 years ago. If I can find
>any seed, whats the likelyhood of it being successfully brought back to
>life through tissue culture? Anyone know of someone who would be able
>to do this who's had excellent luck with plants like this?
>Thanks in advance
