I planted the seeds 3 months ago to the day, Dec. 15th, and one of 3 surviving plants is already sending up a flower scape! That was fast. Hopefully I'll have seeds to share soon. (My friend's little girls LOVE these plants, they are 6 and 10, and already both growing Drosera!
Cool! I got some seeds from Noah a while back, the seeds are still sitting in the fridge. Just waiting for the weather to permanently warm up. I'm sick of having nice weather and a week later, cold cold rain

I've definately been feeling it here. At least the past few days has been really nice. Hope it lasts a little longer at least.
Hope this doesn't get too far off topic, but I sure wish there were CP habitats here in my area! I've got Darlingtonia upstate (way upstate) from me, I've been thinking of taking a drive up there. ARE there any CPs in southern California I've looked but I've never found any in our wetlands.
There are, but there seems to be very little info on the web. Whether it's to protect the colonies, or just the info hasn't been posted yet, I don't know, but there are a few Pings and Drosera.
Apart from the darlingtonias, there are colonies of u. macrorhiza in the lake tahoe area, d. rotudifolia in centralish california, and supposedly some other utrics a pings somewhere. The macrorhiza colonies are definetally worth seeing if you haven't seen utrics in the wild.
As for southern california, I don't know of any wild colonies, especially seeing as how dry it is here.

uh, I forgot to plant mine. I have to find them now. Wow, 3 months? Those things must grow insainly fast. My Spatulata seedlings are like 5 months old and barly the size of a dime.
Spatulata is slower for sure. I also planted nidiformis at the same time which are flowering too and the plants are 4 inches tall. Another fast grower from seed is Drosera indica, in 3 months time they too are very tall although they seem a little reluctant to germinate, but once they do it's very fast growth.
