i met the most beautiful carnivorous plants last night: cape sundews (Drosera capensis)! i was fired up about growing some of my own, but after some interwebbing i discovered that they won't live happily in our heavily shaded apt without grow lamps. fortunately, grow lamps aren't hard to come by in humboldt county. the sundew was a good find for me - d. capensis is supposed to be easier to care for than our native cobra plants, and i'd like a biological control for our summer medfly problems here in presidio gomez.
