Yep, I saw that. It's the same story everywhere. Sites list every plant you really really want, and they're always sold out. :cry:

AKCarnivores is listing pumila seeds for sale right now. However, my recent purchase(several months back) of P. planifolia and P. lutea seeds from them was a waste of my 20. and I did not receive a good response when I contacted them. I had good experience with their seed last year for Drosera's, but cannot recommend them at this point, especially for Pingucula. I usually get at least a few germinations from any CP seed I have tried from the seed bank, but had 0 from the two varieties listed above.

Oh you poor dear. There's nothing worse than buying seeds that don't germinate. Thanks for the warning. That eBay listing struck me as bogus.
