I know these are a pretty common plant in most peoples collection but I've just harvested hundreds of D.capensis and D.capensis alba seeds.
If anyone would like some just shoot me a pm and shipping info.
I also have D.intermedia ,D.rotundifolia, fiiformis tracii, filiformis red, D.paradoxa, D.ventusa that are almost ready to harvest as well. Ill post a giveaway when they are collected.
Hope all is well wherever you all are!
Nolan
Good luck to all that got seed. Many more to come!

Thanks, I'll be looking out for the filiformis varieties. Of the seeds I ordered online, I had zero percent germination :/

Thanks for the generous offer. I have those 2 plants already with seedlings popping up in other pots too. Makes one feel like an accomplished grower to see that bounty.

Sadly, it did take me a few capensis mortalities before I was able to grow them well. The key for me was putting them under the orchid lights in the winter. I am interested in your filliformis seeds too when they are available. Are they as vigourous as the capensis? I can only imagine seedlings popping up everywhere in your growing space, given everything that is setting seed for you.

Yip the only red seed ive seen pop up was a reddy first thing in the spring. I've never gone through the whole hubuffle of the artificial strat.

With the filiformis I tried six weeks cold strat and no stry and no germination. I'm guessing I was sold old seed

Fresh filiformis seed has germinated for me with and without strat. I germinate everything outside in full sun so maybe that makes a difference.

I'm pretty easy going with my seeds outside. I fill up a bunch of 3 1/2 inch pots with peat and silica sand, sow everything and throw the tray outside with all my other plants. I sowed a ton of flytraps, temperate Drosera, South African Drosera, Darlingtonia and Pings and only two species of pings didn't germinate. They got "cool" during the spring when I put them out in April but as you know our spring was very warm and I wouldn't say it counted as strat. The days were all in the double digits. Hope this helps. I find that Darlingtonia takes a while to germinate outside. It was one of the last things to come up.
