A year ago, @Supercazzola generously gifted me some Drosera Paleacea gemmae. The plants have since grown up and produced their own gemmae, so now it's time to pay it forward and spread the wealth.

Standard giveaway format. Winner pays shipping ($4.50 for a puffy envelope, or 78 cents for a flat envelope if you're feeling lucky).

They will be crushed by USPS in regular SASE. Even in padded envelope, there are times when they manage to crust them. I’m so happy to see the results of the ones I sent Elaineo. The world needs more kindness and paying it forward. Thank you

Bump! I will roll the dice on Monday.

I believe @Chefdean had success shipping gemmae via SASE using the method described here. It seems pretty risky, but if there are extra gemmae I could do a test mailing to @thepitchergrower. I'm mailing from California so it would be a short journey.

I've only had middling luck with pygmies, but I'll give it one more shot if I win.

4. ChefDean - go another round!

BTW, now there's only a 20 percent chance of winning...

Also, I would like to see what happens when I send an SASE

Madrone sent me some gemmae set up similar to how ChefDean does the seed packs with the cardboard. They showed up with no problems. IIRC she used two layers though so shipping would be a little more but it's definitely cheaper than sending a package.
