Hi guys, As "feared", the capensis seed has ripened and I guess i am contaminated for life. So I thought it would be cool to check out some of the undeveloped seed pods and see how it looks. Check it out: Seed ready to "parasatise" lol! Here's a full shot So lol...I now have some weed, Ahem, capensis available... anyone want any seed? lol! the plant that produed this and the other adults are going to another member here. But, I don't want any more..lol I have enough already. cheers, Varun

Would you like to have thousands seeds from me? And from Vraev, and probably from everybody on this forum ;D ! Seriously, I can send you seeds of drosera spatulata, drosera tokaiensis, drosera dielsiana, drosera capensis "large" If you want... And the regular drosera capensis too. Pm me! Interresting pictures Vraev! Bye! tommy

I happen to be quite fond of the capensis family! What more can you ask for a nice big sundew thats impossible to kill! Comes in a varriety of colours and sizes from alba to red, min to giant. makes for a good mix Sib

Yes! I think it's one of the most beautifull and easy sundew you can grow. I actually have d.capensis "large leaf", "alba", and the typical form. If anyone have other forms of d.capensis, like red, giant or "crested" (I don't know how we write "crested"), it could be very interresting ! tom

Whenever I gave away a capensis to a non-CP person, they killed it within a month even when I gave them distilled water and a pot and plastic cover. So they aren't that easy to grow. Seriously though, don't send any of that seed to me.

I have red form and narrowleaf seeds waiting to germinate. I'd love to get the crested form, but it's got to be from plant material and thats the uk, or atleast thats the only place i've seen it. Sib

Please let me know if you get some extra, we can figure out a trade of somewhat or I can just reimburse you when I paypal the money for the sarr order.

I just pulled 5 small ones in from the bog but they got hit by a hard frost, so I'll have to make sure the crowns still good. Sib

Anyone still offering to sell some capensis? I hear it's the easiest to grow, and I'm absolutely pitiful at growing anything from seed. It seems the only plants I can keep alive are my aloe vera But I was looking at something to get me started, and would love to try something carnivorous, yet not something out of my league. I really like the long pink/red dewy stalks (hopefully I've identified that correctly as the capensis) too. Let me know
