Question
Hi, this is not much of an issue ,but more of a comment. I live in north California and for a experiment i put a large colony of D.scorpiodes out for the winter. Now most of the colony died back ,but i still have 5 plants thriving. Then I noticed little plants starting to grow in the pots of my Sarracenia. Most tropical plant would often die and especially sundews with all the resent rain showers. I would like to know why the plants survived over the winter. Thank you.

Answer
Hi Connor,

Here is where Drosera scorpiodes is native to:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IBRA_6.1_Jarrah_Forest.png  This would be the equivalent of a zone 9 or 10 in the U.S., and probably very similar weather to where you live in California.  They can take a light frost.  Usually the plant is considered to be a sub-tropical, but they experience cool winters.  Cephalotus is native to this same region.

Good Growing!
