Byblis - the Rainbow Plant

	Nothing to report so far on this page - I have seeds of Byblis liniflora, and I will be sowing them soon, so stay tuned for a report on my progress (or otherwise!)
B. liniflora is an annual and supposedly quite easy from seed. A sandy mix, as used for Droseras of the pygmy and Petiolaris groups, is suggested, so 2:1 sand:peat.
	One of the problems of growing this species in the UK is the short growing season. A relatively long period of warm temperatures and long days is required to produce plants large enough to flower and seed. Sow early, and use artificial heat/light if you can.
UPDATE
The seeds I sowed germinated well in a large, shallow pot of the compost mix described above, under a clear plastic propagator dome. However, when the seedlings were about 1cm high, a slug found its way in through the hole in the top of the propagator and ate the lot, apart from a couple it must have overlooked. Better luck next time, I hope.
