          Dear Filippo,

          I currently have seeds of D.arcturi germinating, they were
          supplied fresh from NZ by Bruce Salmon (thanks very much
          Bruce).

          The seed I placed on compost still shows no sign of
          germinating, where as the seeds I placed in a clear plastic
          container with cooled boiled water have been germinating for
          the past few weeks now. I have been removing the seeds as
          they sprout with a pipette and placing them onto peat/sand
          compost with a thin top dressing of silver sand which helps
          in positioning the seedlings with a drop of water. I have
          been using this same method to germinate temperate
          Pinguicula with out stratification.

          Kind regards

          Loyd
