Hi, Ivan Snyder and myself were discussing my specimen of Darlingtonia 'Othello' grown from seed provided by Barry Rice, and we thought it would be a good idea to post a couple photos. My plant is in a 3 1/2" pot for reference, and has been an easy grower in my experience. If you have a Darlingtonia 'Othello' let us know how you are doing with it, photos are always welcome. -Max

Unfortunately the one seedling I had from the seed batch that Dr. Barry Rice had distributed expired during one of the hot spells we had in Los Angeles. I did obtain Darlingtonia californica Othello x ? seeds from the ICPS seed bank. These germinated in Feb 2007. Here are the survivors as of today. One plant will turn red so it can be eliminated as 'Othello' when I repot them individually next spring. As for the rest I'll just have to see what color the flowers are provided they survive that long. Potted in a mix of perlite and long fibre sphagnum moss. This species is supposed to be fluoride sensitive and some perlite has high fluoride content so I'll try sand and long fibre sphagnum when I repot them.
