Drosera capensis
Cape Sundew
I really wanted to share with you a few photos of my new seedlings of Drosera capensis. If you have followed me for a while you'll know that i have been trying REALLY hard to propagate carnivorous plants seeds for a while with no success, UNTIL NOW! :) I was given these seeds from a friend and he guaranteed me that they would grow. I thought that was a big guarantee considering my track record. but i planted them as per his instruction. Sprinkling them over some wet peat moss and making a little greenhouse for them. Then i waited..... and waited...after about 3 weeks i started to see life :) WOOHOO SUCCESS! So here are some photos of what they look like now :) They are just starting to get the traps on the leaves :)
These are in a small 4"pot zoomed in they just look like moss on the surface of the soil until you zoom in :)

That looks very promising Bill, be sure to make a video on them when they get bigger, that would be really cool :)
