    My plant arrived in very good shape. It was wrapped up very good. It has been healthy and growing since I received it. I will continue to purchase plants from Sarracenia Northwest.

    Superb plant!

    This plant arrived in perfect condition. It has genetics, not the same clone found elsewhere. Stunning in elegance and very heavily veined, it couldn't be better and is the best specimen of this cross I've ever seen.
