Default Re: Drosera Species Threatened by Recent Bushfire in Victoria, Australia

Tragic though it is, I bet this would be a great opportunity for someone to do a study on the recovery dynamics of Drosera species post firestorm. I'd (only) guess that the 'smoke' will promote the germination to extremely high levels...it would be an interesting sight to see if millions of little seeds that have been just waiting there in the soil start to pop up!

Today's BNK Post had two articles facing each other across the page; one on the Aus fires and the other on Aus flooding! Condolances to all affected.
