Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share a picture of two Drosera capensis Bainskloof seedlings I have. They were germinated by seed from a reputable German source. I've read from several sources that the plant does not set viable seed so I think this might be interesting to some people.

Right now, conditions aren't that ideal. I have them growing on a northerly window (I'm in the southern hemisphere so that's the sunny side) in very bright shade. I would move them outside but they die quickly in the oppressive australian summers if i forget to water them. Anyway, no sign of etiolation. They'll get direct sunlight once the position of the sun dips down later in the year.
