Second question:

I have a Pl. saracenia, which developed a seed capsule in July 2011. Now in
January 2012 it
looks still the same: triangular, fully green, old flower attached to end.
How long does it take
for the capsule to fully mature? I plan on taking some scanning electron
micrographs of the
seeds, but want to make sure that the seeds are fully developed.

Has anybody done SEM on pleuroseeds in general? Can seeds simply be
air-dried, or would
critical point drying or Hexamethyldisilizane treatment be advantageous to
avoid any
shrinkage?

Obviously, I'm having way too much fun. Thanks for any insights or pointers.

Best wishes

Daniel
