Prescott, just about in the center of the state. My sundews are starting to lose some color due the lack of sun. Today is the first reasonably clear day we've had for the past 2-3 weeks. Thinking of investing in some lighting systems.

Same problem here. The windows in front of the house don't get summer sun and the back windows don't get anything until nearly sunset. Fortunately I have a second story deck that gets sun all summer. In winter, the sun dips too low and goes behind the house. A grow light is starting to sound more like a necessity than a luxury.
Anyway, I harvested a bunch of the subulata seeds and will set up the pot this week. Given their tendency to spread, I may be playing with fire and regretting this in a few weeks, but I want to see if I can get some flowers to open.

I grow livida, sandersonii and reniformis in a west window.

I scattered some subulata seeds in a fresh pot of peat/Perlite about week ago. I'm hoping to see this generation produce some actual flowers. If none appear, I'll go ahead and invest in some flowering perennials.
