Ali, thanx... Hope so... But, so far, dont have news yet... probably need to try order it from online shop...

I may be able to help you out with D. andersoniana and D. pulchella (Pink Flower). Unfortunately I have just found out that the guy I get alot of my seeds from has passed away over the weekend.

You could also try and purchase them from the Australian Carnivorous Plant Society. I have attached a link. I believe Khoas is the seedbank officer for the society and I don't think you need to be a member to order.

Let me know if you are interested in the others. Cheers.

Stath, thanx for the offer... I forget that there is seeds bank in internet... Will go and register. Thanx...

It seems like tuberous Drosera is not easy to keep in tropical... Will refine my wanted list soon...

[strath76]

No Prob's. I wouldn't give up on tuberous so quickly. They may be more difficult to grow in tropical areas but if you can provide a slightly cooler period to induce growth and then a hot dry period you may be able to succeed.

If I, along with many others, are able to grow tropical Nepenthes in a temperate zone such as Melbourne then it just may be possible to provide temperate conditions in a tropical area. It wont be as simple as placing them in water and leaving them but generally something that is worthwhile is not always easy.
