Drosera Intermedia Carolina
CLOSED AND MAILED
Hi guys, the flowerstalk on my intermedia rattles when it moves. I cut a flower open and sure enough it's full of seeds. I'm going to cut the stalk up and send out a flower or two to the first ten people who notify me via PM that they want one. No need for a SASE, PM me your address and shipping's on me worldwide. Just be warned it might be a week or so before they ship out, I'm real busy. If you have anything to trade that would be cool but not necessary.

All Taken. Thanks guys. Everyone's seeds were sent out. There's been a slight change in plans. In order to make sure everyone gets the same seeds/lack thereof I will be removing all the seeds from the flowerstalk and sending them out in packets, in case some of the flowers didn't get pollenated. For those who don't know drosera intermedia is great because you don't have to worry about drainage or over watering. These plants are very easy to grow. They do well in pure peat moss kept sopping wet with the tray method.

All seeds have been mailed out. Some seeds were sent back to their native Carolina, others were sent out across the USA and as far away as the UK, India and New Zealand. It's really something to think of my little plant spreading it's seeds all over the world like this. Now let's just hope that they sprout. Happy growing everyone!

A special thanks to JHT Union for his time and patience in explaining to me how and why to harvest, package and ship these better!

I have drosera intermedia 'cuba' seeds if you want to trade seeds? I'm in need of more d. Intermedia seeds. Send me a pm, and your address and name.

Thank you!

I got the Cuba seeds in the mail today. Thanks again JHT. I sent mine out the same day so USA recipients should be getting theirs today or tomorrow.

You're very welcome!
I haven't receive seeds yett, i guess by tomorrow they should be here!

Seeds arrived safe & sound. They have been sown & I will post images when I start to see some signs of life.

Thanks a bunch!

The chances of germination might be low.
Remember that d. Intermedia, if it is temperate, by thename d. Intermedia carolina. The seeds need stratification in order for them to germinate. Since you have sow them itwould be very hard to take the seedsagain. Simply expose the container to temps of 40f all winter long, and then wait for the seeds to germinate in spring.

Good luck.

Thanks for that advice. I think I will leave them with my other CPs for now & if they don't germinate before the weather turns colder - I will move them with my CPs that are going into dormancy (cold, sunlit room).
