I think I know what the main bonus will be for seed bank requests next month, maybe the rest of the summer.
My Matroosberg Pass Cape that I got from Evenwind last year has a very big flower stalk with at least 35 flowers, and a second on the way.

And this is the haul from only one pod, a few hundred seeds at least.

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

I was thinking of sending you more of these, too. Since they're basically just a large-ish, sturdy, typical, distinguished only by location data, maybe take most of them and add them to the "mixed cape" packets?

Some will definitely go in the mixed Capes envelope, but there may be an offer extended on a FB page that caters to beginning carnivorous plant growers to spread the love.
And that second flower stalk will probably get clipped.

Very nice! Do you know if this is Silverhill's strain or Alex D.'s 1285 m asl collection?

Sorry, no. All the info I had at the time would have gone on the label. I can't even tell you where the seeds came from. I lost some records on an overwritten thumb drive and any source info is gone.
