Anthony Bell is Mr Byblis.
He raises and sells almost all Byblis species seeds.
He is Fishman here on the forum but I haven't seen him log in here lately.
He is more active on Facebook in the CP groups, particularly the Texas Carnivorous Plant Group.

Thank you - I will hunt him down.

I appreciate this tip!

It just takes way too much time to nuture seeds that are not going to reliably germinate.

7 types in the Genus Byblis -We know that the Gigantea is a perrenial and so is lamellata , but I would be willing to try any of the other 5 that are annuals. Too determined at this point.

I will followup when I find him.

His Group, the Texas Carn. Plant Group is a closed group - Texans only, which is fine.

Good growing and thank you shadowtski!

I fired a PM to him.
I asked him him to pop in here to FTC to respond or to PM you.
(I'm not a Texan but they let me in out of pity. :) )

I'll have to hunt him down to. Didn't know there was a reliable source of the rarer Byblis species in the US. I've been wanting to try some perennials now that I have the space for them to mature.

Yeah, Anthony is the man you need. He grows all species of Byblis and with multiple location data for most.

Wow- I see that both the interest level in Byblis and the willingness to help is very high on this Forum!

I was not ready before, but I think I am ready now for Byblis ... and its prismatic beauty !

Thank you Shadowtski, charlie, KategoricalKarnivores and my pal Copper2 -
