FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I'd like to thank Supercazzola for his recent donation of two packs (more than that) of filiformis var Floridana "All Red". Probably very similar to "Florida Red", if not the same. Just a rose by any other name.
I say more than two packs because he must be using some sort of voodoo, common core, conversion to metric, newfangled math they might be secretly using at NASA. He donated enough seed for at least seven packs, maybe a couple more. I'll list it as bulk in inventory until it runs dry.
However you count it, it's still great to get these, and they were harvested five days ago. Five days y'all! That's fresher than a roadkill Armadillo!
Thank you Supercazzola for your continued generosity.
These seeds are immediately available to all eligible members.

Damn... I should've waited the extra 2 days to order these seeds instead of the older, not-as-viable seeds. Oh well, you learn something new everyday!

Those you requested are less than a year old, so they're still really good. However, they're labeled only as var Floridana, not Florida Red.
I haven't received your SASE yet, wanna change your request?

Done. Mark your envelope as "All Red" instead of Floridana.

Negative.
However, I haven't given up hope, the USPS has been very late a couple of times. If they do arrive, I'll make sure to try to get them out quick.

I think it's a little late to do that, I sent it 2 days ago and is is marked as 'var. Floridana'. It's fine if I just recieve the other seeds, as you said they are still very viable and will probably still get great germination.

Well, then, let's hope this old guy remembers.

Getting hourly emails might help.

Shut your dirty mouth! Don't encourage unnecessary correspondence.

Perfect! But I feel like doing it closer to every 15 minutes would be more necessary, don'tcha think?

What's that?
You want to be removed and banned from the forum?
Then hunted down and have bamboo splinters shoved under your toe nails?
Well, if that is your wish....

Just as an FYI, the original source of this plant was from a seller on eBay named miacps.
It was listed as:

Drosera filiformis Florida All-Red! Live thread-leaf sundew carnivorous plant!

FWIW, The ICPS website has this to say in it's discussion of filiformis: "The Florida plants are generally smaller and redder than the Atlantic coast plants and were given the name Drosera filiformis var. floridana. The ICPS Seed Bank has distributed seeds of Drosera filiformis var. floridana as "Florida all red", "Florida red", or simply "Florida". "
