I would like to grow mexican butterwort (or any other that doesn't need dormancy). Is there anyone that would like to grow Drosera capensis (Regular and Alba)? I would gladly trade my seeds for the Butterwort seeds.

I'd rather trade them, but if no one is interested, I'll just go and buy some seeds on eBay. I hope I don't get scammed again

Just as a heads up almost no one grows Mexican Pinguicula from seeds, so if you're getting them off of ebay it's very likely you'll get scammed.

For these I would say it's best to start from live plants or leaf pullings.

Yea, not worth the time on ebay. At least from seed

I'm getting ready to attempt P. Sethos from seed lol. it's from my own personal seed stock

However Scatterpants on TF has a clone of "kondoi" and a clone of reticulata, which I can cross with my "kondoi", as long as one of the clones is different. Then there will be pure species seeds

Well it wouldn't be P. Sethos if it was being grown from seed

That's why I mentioned other tropical versions as well. It's not the best time of the year to buy them anyway, freezing cold here.
I'll try to find a normal source around here somewhere.

Lol woops my b

Lol....the seeds are from my P. Sethos but I know that they'd be "seed grown" and I could end up with something special....which I'm hoping for cause that would be cool

Now how do I sow these babies? Lol

Maybe try a few methods of seed sowing, see which works best for you. There's not as much information for sowing Mexican Pings out there as for other carnivores now is there?
