Nice, I wish tuberous sundews are as easy to get here in the states. The flowers are nice, how large are they?

[Khoas]

caseyhoo-species like tubaestylus and erythrorhiza flower at the beginning of active growth, other like stolonifera and rupicola flower about half way through the active growth phase. Finally species like auriculata, macrantha and menzesii flower a few weeks before heading for dormancy

alcran-tubeastylus flowers about 1cm (1/2") diameter, erythrorhiza about 7mm across.
