You might want to start wearing your tinfoil hat. The governments benny rays are very strong there.

In the 1980s and 1990s, a few suppliers were selling a Drosera capensis "Crestate" clone.
It was not fully stable and zigzagged in and out of crestate growth.
I had one way back then, wish I still had it, it was a nice plant.

Do you know if they are still reproduced via. TC or if they are pretty much forgotten/extinct?

I haven't seen one offered for sale in years.
A Greek seller on eBay sells seeds of D. capensis "Crestate" but his only show fasciation in the flower and I'm not sure if that trait is stable and able to be passed via seed.
