    ... had our first real frost this morning ;-) but here also, far too dry, 900ml instead of 1500 normally for a year...

    Hi Darlingtoniae lovers, For the first year, a couple of large Darls have developed a *second* bud in the year. Due to a warm summer + Indian summer (drawing to a close now), the buds are approx 5-7 cm tall. My plants will hibernate around 3-10°C and I guess the buds will not grow then. So my question: Should I remove these buds to save energy for the plants, or would you think they could grow in the springtime? All answers will be appreciated! Thanks a lot already, OL

    ... so far, not at all, no bigger than "regular" seedlings of the same age...

    Hi fellow Darlingtoniae growers! In January 2014 (or December 13, not sure) I bought seeds of Darlingtonia "giant x giant" on eBay uk, from someone called "Colin". Of course i didn't keep track of this transaction... and now that seedlings are growing, I'd like to contact "Colin" for further information about his seeds. So does any of you know about him? or about his batches of seeds + origins? Thanks already for your help, and best regards from Switzerland, Olivier

    Sorry picol and tatter, I was not clear when I mentioned "shelves". Pots would be placed in trays on which fresh air has free access. Simply no direct light... Hope I am writing things more precisely this time :-) Thanks for your advice in all cases, OL

    Hello colleagues, I have had the same phenomenon with a few citrus trees here in my veranda (cool climate, 1000m asl,Switzerland): They have developed new leaves, which is not what they have done in recent years at the same time. I guess it is due to the uncommon warm and sunny late summer we've had here... How about at your places? Cheers, OL
