    The alata I received was bigger than expected and packed well. It didn’t skip a beat and is putting up nice fall pitchers.

    Love the plant

    The red hood was looking great when it arrived and has improved since I put it in the sun. It gets sun 6 to 7 hours. It was a good buy for me. Thanks for the quick delivery time.

    I am so enjoying my Sarracenia alata Red Hood. The pitcher hoods are starting to turn red and look lovely. They are happier now that the sun has come out!
