Self Addressed Stamped Envelope - you just send me an envelope (in another envelope) with your address and a stamp on it, and I'll fill it with seeds and send it back. Let me know if you're still interested!

hahaha... on the bright side you can plant some silk trees! I don't know if you can grow Albizia in Ontario. These grow to massive heights in Maui. In our climate in Vancouver, the winter often kills off some of the tips. Spectacular tree if you can get it to grow in your climate.

Lol so that's how you ended up with those seeds! Looking forward to growing a bonsai. Mybe find out what those seeds look like when flowering I read there are a few different colours .

My drosera Ordensis seeds finally showed up today. I didn't think they were going to show up at all at this point. But now I have them, and there are only 10, which seems insane. When the wrong seeds were sent a couple weeks ago I bought a mystery mix pack from ebay after reading Willyck's thread, and a couple members from the forum (peatmoss and Devon) were very generous with seeds when they saw my Ordensis seeds never showed. So after the mystery mix and the gifted seeds were sown, looking at 10 tiny drosera seeds does not fill me with confidence. the seller also gave me a pack of drosera Loweriei seeds to apologise for the mistake, and I know nothing about this plant. google tells me it's a tuberous drosera, which I know nothing about, and apparently a difficult one to grow, that goes dormant in summer. I don't know if i'll try to grow those ones or not. I'm still very new at this, and I've filled my little sunblaster germination nanopod very quickly.

You can either give the seeds away or read up a bit and try to germinate them in the fall. The worse that could happen is that they won't germinate, like most of the weird seeds I've tried.

I opened the pack of D. Lowriei and it looks like only 5 seeds. I dropped one in with the ordensis seeds for a hail mary play. If peatmoss or devon or willy wants to give these a shot, I would give them first dibs on the remaining seeds, but again, its only 4 small seeds left, so kinda keep your expectations low, I guess. The seeds look a bit bigger than the drosera seeds I've sown, but maybe thats a tuber thing.

I'd love to give it a try, but you have only 5 seeds, don't you want to sow all five for better germination rate? I don't mind taking some seeds from you next year when your D. Lowriei are grown and flowered

go ahead and send me a sase, Willy. Hopefully one or two of the 4 seeds will germinate for you. I dropped one in my ordensis tray just for kicks, but I don't have any desire to try tubers at this point. I need to pull the reins on new projects until I get my temperate planters and my current drosera seeds germinated and repotted.

Curtis, Thanks but I think I will pass for now. I've ordered few Tubers from a member here and gotta make sure I can keep them alive before trying something more advance.

does this look familiar to anyone? It sure doesn't look like I expected drosera ordensis to look as a young seedling. I'm pretty sure this seed vendor has screwed me.

No guesses here. I think that it has potential to be a good looking plant though.

Did it actually come out of the seed coat? Curious to see what it is. Not even sure it's an angiosperm.

Weird. Looks like lots of duckweed plants in a blob of jelly. Maybe you have the words smallest flowering plant growing in symbiosis with a weird invertebrate (Bryozoan) there.
