I just found this in my P. primuliflora pot:

I don't know how it got there since I sowed seeds outside in this:

and more in a tray in here:

....both of which were failures.

Likewise, I have D. burmannii languishing in this setup:

.... but a plant sprang up in here:

.... ne makez sense pas!

What's next.... a Drosphyllum in a Genlisea pot?!
 
Talk about synchronicity - the two year old plant that must have been from a hitchhiker seed with some D. brevifolia that I got from you is just about ripened. And the evil spawn from earlier flowers (it has produced seed 3 times previously) are now flowering. This spreads as quickly as D. capensis.
 
I just killed the liniflora! I sprinkled freezed dried bloodworms on my butterworts and sundews and misted the leaves, as per instructions. The next day the plant reacted. What's with that?!
 
I found a delay reaction D. indica in a Nep pot:

and a P, gypsicola in another, from a leaf cutting:

I've got two typical vft flower pullings that took, 'only' 4 months after it looked like it turned black... seems like the others say, like seeds, never give up :D nice find!
