Hey all,

Been growing some Drosera from seed this winter/spring. Pictures below are not the greatest but they work. I took some of them from my 8-10 yr. old Nikon Coolpix 8700 and the magnified ones through my 10x loupe using my iPhone.

Drosera filiformis
Soil:Long fiber sphagnum
Seeds sewn: 11 days ago March 10th 2014
Stratified in water in my fridge for about four weeks prior to sewing the seeds. It appears the filiformis is struggling to survive the damp as seeds are getting mold, but some are pushing on.
