I got seed when it first appeared in the ICPS Seedbank March 2003. Grew it for a short time before storing a little seed in my refrigerator. Recently I discovered the seed and sowed some after twenty years in the fridge. A tiny fast maturing plant with a very short flower stalk.

Beautiful plant.
Thanks for sharing.
This gives me hope. I have some sundew seeds I found recently that are 8-10 years old. I should give them a try!

Seed capsules are ripening now. I know what you are all thinking: I need to upgrade to the larger more popular Roraima form. Bluemax wrote me privately. I declined his gracious offer. This little one is enough for me. I already have too many mouths to feed.

That's good to hear that after that long a time germination is possible.
I'm about to start some Drosera & Ping seeds that I have a year of 2006 on them.
