Well, this was a nice surprise to see.
Earlier this year we received some Drosera capillaris "Bertioga" seeds from our friend Aquis31. For some unknown reason, nobody was able to germinate them but me. Maybe because I waited until the temps were hitting 80°F in the humid, early summer in Tennessee. (OK, I didn't "wait", I forgot they were in my fridge until early summer)
However, I found this yesterday. If the temps stay conducive, I may have some fresh seed for the seed bank. So far, the forecast is for warm temperatures for the foreseeable future. Keep your fingers crossed.

Bertioga, should be (Bertioga) I guess, refers to it's location data. It comes from the Bertioga area, south east of São Paulo Brazil, so it is used to tropical conditions. That's probably why it did well in the Tennessee summer.
If the local weather stays warm enough to allow the plant to fully do its thing, maybe I'll get enough seeds for you to try some out. It looks like I might have to bring it in for a few days as I will see temps in the mid 40's a few nights, but maybe it'll be warm enough to keep going.
We'll see.
