Drosera regia: first sign . . .

Nice!

I find regia germinate rather quickly in normal conditions also, the trouble is keeping them alive!

I had always found that growing them under highland conditions worked well (their native climate is little different from Northern California); though I haven't had the species on hand since college . . .
