Great Nepenthes Sanguinea!!
I placed my order and just afterwards, we hit record low temps. Because of this my plants arrived in poor condition. This was unavoidable. No one knew our temps would drop so drastically. Sarracenia Northwest sent me new plants. The frost protection was perfect. Replacement plants arrived in perfect condition. I would highly recommend this company and will order again.

Looking for this one for a while
I know sanguinea aren't exactly rare, but I've been wanting to get my hands on one for a while. I love Nepenthes and it's a very cute addition to my collection.
