Dear Fernando & List,
> D.glanduligera to germinate, flower, and set seed. For those of you who
Well, I have tried to germinate D.glanduligera a couple times, but
nothing to show for it! It sure looks pretty from the few photos I
have seen. If/when I get some more seed of this very interesting species
I'll need some advice and how to at least germinate them.
The D. indica is easier to germinate, but I only get a couple plants.
Is the seed very short lived, or does it stratification?
Anyway, I have two plants, one of each species of D.burmanii and
D.sessifolia. Right now the D.burmanii looks like it might not
recover from too dry conditions, but the S.sessifolia has a flower
stalk with over eight flowers and is producing seed. This plants has
made seed before, but none come up. Any idea about germinating these
too?
Ok, I haven't seen this rapid tentical movement behavior in Drosera
before and when I tried on the D.sessifolia at twelve this afternoon,
I still didn't see it.
Oh well, Good luck,
Dave E
