Great Service Advice & Products
Very communicative and supportive of my pest questions. The suggestions worked! Also, gave a free plant due to a delayed shipping issue. Dormant plans received are waking up, and are healthy.

Excellent Product
All the plants I ordered ( 1 Venus fly trap, 1 sundew and 2 pitcher plants) arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition. All plants where of nice size. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Made a "bog" in a large plastic pot. Now one month later they thriving. I will have to see how they weather the St. Louis winter in my garage. Thanks again for a great product!

3 plants: S. purpurea venosa
The plants were packaged so well the plants hardly knew they spent 4 days in shipping. I planted them the day they arrived and they are all doing extremely well. Thank you for taking such care with your plants. I also love your instructional videos on carnivorous plant care through the seasons.
