I am happy!
My Albino Cape decided to flower, and I got a bunch of seed, too many for one sane man to handle.
After giving many away to coworkers, neighbors, and even prepping pots and sowing seeds for some Elementary school teachers, I still have six packs left to give away. I might have a 7th, but the last few pods aren't really productive, so I'm not counting it right yet.
I'm not going to do any fancy giveaway, just a FCFS giveaway to the first 6 who list their name in the usual manner. Those 6 will just need to send a SASE for the seeds.
These pics are of the first seeds I gave away, and some seeds that I scraped off my finger onto a bare spot in one of my existing small pots. Both pics are 2 1/2 weeks after sowing. Each packet has a couple hundred seeds at least, but I really didn't count how many went in so there could be a few more than that. There's at least enough to give you a little forest.
As I'm not affiliated with the seed bank, these shouldn't interfere with your ability to request from Shadowtski.
FCFS for the first 6 to list their name.

Sweet! Thank you. I've tried temperate dews before, but haven't had much luck. I read up on filiformis specifically and feel comfortable trying again. I'm excited.

Quick suggestion, toss seeds in water filled test tube in refrigerator for 8 weeks. Plant seeds and stand back.

I've seen you suggest that to many as your preferred method. I've had good luck water germinating other dews, I guess it's time to do your method.
Thanks Shadow.

One left. Who will the lucky person be?

Since there has been no recent interest, and I'm getting the SASE's, we'll call this one closed.
I'll just split the 6th pack up and add a bit to the other 5. The anticipated 7th pack only amounted to about 100 seeds, so they got split up as well.
The 5 recipients will soon have themselves a forest of D. Capensis "Albino".
Enjoy.
