did not expect such a large healthy plant
was still dormant when arrived, i couldn't guess how many new traps this thing has put out in such a short time. has surpassed all expectations of health size and growth.
Dionaea King Henry Flytrap
$16.95
This variety of flytrap produces upright yellow traps. The traps' mouths have a splash of reddish-orange. It grows vigorously and sends up multiple traps at once. It also produces larger-than-normal traps when it matures, up to 1.5 inches. Because of the long petioles, the leaves flop over due to the weight of the large traps. This is probably why it was called King Henry!

Great little plants - arrived healthy
I found the site to be very helpful in terms of setting expectations. Plants were shipped promptly and packaged very carefully. After reading up on plant care on the site I repotted them and they are doing well, growing new flytraps and eating little bugs that come their way. No complaints so far!

Very impressed
I have never tried growing Venus flytraps for some reason and I am very impressed with the quality and resilience of the two I purchased a few weeks ago. They are thriving and growing very well.

ICPS Conference
I enjoyed meeting Jeff at the ICPS conference and chatting over dinner on Sunday. The plants I have bought this year from you have all done very well. Much success to you in the future and I hope Norma Addington does well, I'll buy a piece in a few years, lol! -- Best, Dan Walker
