For myself - I'm still trying to get my hands on Utricularia campbelliana. It's unobtainium, I know but many such things turn up here.

I've currently got a S. purpurea that would fill the space you describe by itself. 'Of course you could keep yours cut back but they can get big.

You would probably do well with a basic overview of how to grow Cephalotus, which you can find here: Growing Cephalotus follicularis | ICPS. It's worth saying, as adnedarn has implied, that these are bog plants and need constant wetness in their soil. They will shrivel and die without it.

I am told by another grower of success getting petiolaris sundew seeds to sprout in concentrations of about 4500 ppm. My only successes have been with Drosophyllum - it will cause the plants to form new roots no matter the age.

'Gotta wonder if the double flower is going to be a stable trait? Has this plant, the planifolia, bloomed before?

Be it known that it is announced; our monthly meeting will take place next Saturday, April 13 at the Moon and Sixpence Pub in the Hollywood district of Portland starting at 3:00 P. 'Should be a good one!

You could guess, based on researching cultivar descriptions and such but without the source verifying what you have you'll never be able to positively i.d. your plant. In effect, your plant was sold as a "typical" form, even if it came from actual cultivar stock.

'Interesting experiment. Your climate conditions might duplicate those of higher-elevation environments of Darlingtonia. I know in the lower elevations in the Siskiyous it gets pretty hot in summer. The native colonies I've seen in the mountains all get a constant trickling flow of water.

Is this a D. x eloisiana form?

'Some big fun is coming!

Your D. murfetii are looking good. Mine are on the move now, too. Good luck with the D. cistiflora flowers!

Ha! I'm getting revved-up for it, too. Now what should I offer this year...?

Some time back I was given a P. laueana x emarginata and I am now impressed at what a pretty plant it is with the upturned leaf edges outlined in purple. Yours is the first photo I've seen of this one, I think.

As we all know, small collections of plants tend to get bigger with time. :) I'm of the opinion that D. adelae is at its best when grown in lower light. The leaves get big and wide and plants can be pretty impressive, looking like ground-hugging regias with wide leaves. I've seen the "giant"...
