It is that time of year where my temperate droseras are pumping out flowers and, therefore, seeds. I can't just let them go to waste and my elbows are already exfoliated enough so I figured I'd give them away. I have 4 packs of seeds, two filiformis, and two intermedia. The filiformis are a mix of filiformis, dreamsicle, and tracyii or a cross of any of the above. The intermedia are, well, intermedia but there may be a stray cross with a filiformis or cape in there. I will be randomly selecting two winners and each will get one pack of each type of seed. Use the contest formula as usual but also add what has been the toughest plant you have ever grown. For example:

1. Your name - Marton Dragon's hate me
2. Somebody else - I'm a dragon slayer
3. Another person - you get the idea

Let's run this through Saturday and then I will randomly pick the winners using my old school dice technique.

Good luck!

So, a bit of confession time. The intermedia seed got contaminated by some filiformis seed. How does that happen? You chuck a ripe stalk of filiformis seed into an envelope without reading said envelope first. I would have sworn it was filiformis, but there you have it. I'll still include both packs but be forewarned that some of your 'intermedia' will be filiformis.

Lol, that happens to me all the time(not really) :lol: . It's a good thing they both require the same amount of Strat. time and look completely different as seedlings...
