Beauty!
Sarracenia Northwest definitely knows carnivorous plants! It arrived safely and intact. It is thriving on my outdoor patio and already caught a meal or two. This is my second flytrap from Sarracenia and will buy more in the future!

A very good supplier of carnivorous plants
I received a very robust and healthy looking plant. It was packaged nicely for shipping. After a short period of adapting to my central Texas heat, the plant is sprouting new growth and doing very well.
