I have no idea how long filifolia lives for but it's very rare anyway so good luck getting your hands on one. Liniflora lives for one year UNLESS you grow it in a deep pot. If it's in a deep pot it can live longer than 1 year, how much longer than one year? I don't know but they give off tons of seed after one year anyway so you don't have to worry about losing it permanently. I really have NEVER seen a byblis filifolia being sold anywhere. Makes me want to look up some information on it. I'll let you know what I find.
-+EDIT+-
I found a site that shows the seasons of a lot of the CPs known. As for life span, I found that the only byblis plant that IS NOT an annual is byblis gigantea. Byblis gigantea is as easy to grow as liniflora (if not easier) byblis gigantea doesn't mind it's roots being disturbed (unlike liniflora). But the seeds are really hard to germinate. You need a smoke disc and even then I'm not sure if it's easy. I personally have never tried. As for any sites that sell Byblis filifolia, I found a UK site and a Canadian site. Here's the link to the Canadian site. They have some REALLY rare seeds actually. Even Drosophyllum lusitanicum. Here's the link. http://www.rarexoticseeds.com/Graines....ds.html
Also, here's the link to the site with all the CP grow seasons.

If youre starting out, get liniflora, as all other Byblis are quite hard and get big(the size of a small-medium size bush)
No, liniflora doesnt live ONE season, but it is an annual, so it will die after a year
However, it will set hundreds of seeds before it dies, so collect the seed and re-sow in spring

i did. and what is your point? certain Pygmy Drosera are more suited to a beginner than others. adaptability comes into question with this subject.
i said no plant was hard to grow under proper conditions. i didn't say that some plants were easier to grow (easier to provide conditions for) than others.

No its not, look at D.capensis and N.rajah grow compared to each other[b said:
They both obviously need different types of care and attention
And what about those plants which you provide the perfect conditions and they still die?
Anyway why did you post that? All youre doing is confusing the person who first asked the question

ok i think both of you are right, you just are rewording the things the other has said, some plants realy adaptable thus one considers them easy to grow because there growing conditions are variable and the plant survives under almost any condition, but a plant like triphyophyllum peltatum is considered extremely difficult to grow because its growing condition are hard to provide and the plant does not forgive one for the failure, but if they could be provided and kept constent the plant will live and thrive but it can still die of infection of any disease or pests.
you both are helpfull thank you
happy growing to all
