I want Drosera capensis "Typical"

Hello everyone i was recommended here by shadowtski? I hope i spelled it correctly. I can send lots of seeds of lactuca virosa fresh harvested. 4-10-2017. I am hoping to find some easy to keep carnivorous plants or sundews. Thank you in advance. Please respond with an address with where to send to. I will reply usually within a few days. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

What species are you looking for?

If you want a nice easy beginner's Sundew, I recommend Drosera capensis. We have lots of this seed in the seedbank. Would you like some?

Do you know what an SASE is? ( Self Addressed Stamped Envelope )
That's the customary method of sending or receiving seed.

You address #1 envelope to yourself and put a stamp on it; this is your Return Envelope. Do not seal it.
You address #2 envelope to the seed supplier (me) and put a stamp on it; this is your Outbound Envelope.
Put #1 envelope inside #2 envelope.
Seal #2 and drop it in the mail.

When it arrives, I open it, drop a package of seed in the return envelope and mail that back to you. You get seeds almost free. It costs you two stamps.

I can share seeds without it costing me money to do so.

This is how the FTC Community Seedbank operates without charging anything for the seeds we give away.

If you already know all this, I apologize for getting long-winded. But I am guessing that you are a relatively new CP grower.

Thank you for your offer of Lactuca virosa seeds but I don't have room to grow these. Some other forum member might though.

Let me know if you'd like the Drosera capensis seeds.

Thanks

Good growing,
Mike

D. capensis might be better described as, "hard to get rid of!"

SASE received.

You sent a large puffy envelope, would you like me to put a Drosera capensis plant in it also, along with the seed?

I'll be mailing it out in a few days.
I'll notify you when I do.

Good growing,
Mike
