along with my burmannii, 2 capensis, and rotundifolia, I'm now also growing Drosera intermedia, more capensis, spatulata var lovallae, and even more burmannii from seeds. that's not even counting the capensis and rotundifolia cuttings.
somebody stop me.

Yeah, sundews are how we get you addicted. They're cheap and easy.
Once we have you hooked, we introduce you to Flytraps and Sarracenia, and you're ours forever!

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

Yeah, @ChefDean gets a fishing pole and puts a sundew on the hook. Then he casts it toward you. Once you bite down on it, there's no escape. He will just slowly reel you in.

That's probably why he uses sundews instead of worms.

I went crazy on the leaf and root cuttings. Now I have way too many plants...

Contact me in a month +, and we could always work out something...

I wear many hats. Once you achieve some milestones in life, you learn you need to branch out.
Get married, add partner, protector, provider, personal shopper, nurse.
Become a father, you add caretaker, chef, doctor, groomer, waste management, fashionista.
Buy a house, add gardener, landscaper, painter, carpenter, plumber, painter, handyman.
Own a car, add mechanic, detailer.
This is far from the comprehensive list, but it gives a glimpse.
