Order received.
Your order number is 0360.
I'll PM you shortly with a mailing address for your SASE.
Thank you for your order.

For Sarracenia or Dionaea seeds, I strongly suggest you use a non-machinable stamp on your return envelope. (The inside one) For Drosera, Pinguicula, and Utricularia seeds, the extra postage is not necessary.
If you can't find a non-machinable stamp, I suggest a forever stamp plus a 15 cent stamp or two regular forever stamps on your return envelope.
The USPS machinery loves to crush those seeds. 

Reminder to all:
Please remember return address on all envelopes.
Please remember to write your Forum username and order number somewhere on the envelope or in a note.
I don't have access to a cross reference of real-world names linked to usernames.
Remembering these things helps me fill orders quicker.
Thank you.

Happy growing,
Dean

There has been some good reports about germination rate and variety of sprouts from these seeds. Technically, they're all typicals because they're seed grown, but they have the potential to look like almost anything.
Good luck.

Hungrycarnivores tried some interesting and reported good results. Scarification was apparently very successful with germination. I found LFS to give me a higher germination rate (I just sowed them) but that could've been coincidence. HG did the traditional scarification/soak in water for 24 hours that is used on hard coated seeds. I may try to do the same or gamble GA3 and see what turns up this time and do them entirely outdoors. Good luck man!

Tried GA3. At low concentrations (0-10ppm) it has little to no effect, about 25 is the sweet spot for me, any more than that has a paradoxical effect.
