GREAT PICS!!! I've really enjoyed the d. sp. Corumbà with the extremely hairy scape!! thanks!!

Great pics Valentin!!! I really love your d. rubrifolia, I haven't see this plant in dark red colour till now in cultivation. On the other side your d. alba (very nice!) would be more reddish.. this sound strange to me.

@ Katerina: as far as I know, YES. but sometimes seeds obtained in terraria simply don't sprout @ Giupe: next time we will meet, you will risking a ping. debbertiana seizing!!
