Hello:

After 21 days one seed started to germinate, I am so happy! I took the picture using the stero microscope.

That looks great, Perla! Since one has germinated, they didn't all overheat and die (I seem to remember that you worried about that some days ago, after leaving them covered but in direct sunlight for a while). That's a nice little root emerging from the seed. One month from now your baby Flytraps will have their first 1-3 tiny but functional traps. :mrgreen:
