I'm no expert on the chart but burmannii is an annual plant. Unfortunately it will die in a year or two. But it's very prolific with seed production so I guarantee you should always have some in your collection. But a cross is unlikely

Haven't seen him around much. I know he's been working on his instagram, but hasn't posted lately. I requested some seeds from his free sundew seed bank a few months back.

For the neighborhood pets that wander into my yard, sustenance for the plant.

Here's one dubbed Perlata. Our friend Aquis31 crossed a Red x Hong Kong a couple of years ago.

Most of the seeds are growing up all sorts of variations of the parent plants, but a few get this dusty reddish orange color.
We have a few packs of Perlata seeds in the seed bank.
