I just can't get anything to sprout. None of my SASE from terrafourms sprouted either... I just don't have luck them them.

this is my history with pretty much all houseplants most of my life. Aquarium plants on the other hand by and large grow fine, without any sissified overindulgences like ferts or CO2.

therefore when I succumb to the Evil Lure of the CP it will be with a Utricularia. Or even a Aldrovanda vesiculosa (one can dream). The timing of this slide into moral turpitude is pretty much dependent on when I can find a pusher...er I mean "reasonably priced and reasonably nearby purveyor" of these insidious organisms.

anybody know of any? Am starting to get twitchy the longer this thread goes on. :)

Where are you located? There are some great places around the country, and most are reliable shippers. I'll post some links when I get home.

Just for a start.
http://cobraplant.com/
http://www.flytraps.com
http://www.blackjungleterrariumsupply.com/
http://www.equilibriocarnivorousplants.com/
http://exoticplantsplus.com/

I've purchased from blackjunglesupply over 5 times, flytraps once, and heard lots of good things about cobraplants.com and exoticplantsplus.com

O and join our little group on here, a lot more websites

Thanks, Paul! I was just about to post those. :clap:

Ditto Black jungle. I've been to their greenhouse and their plants are amazing. Shipping is quick and reliable. I can totally vouch for cobraplant.com. I've never gotten a bad plant from either source.

I'd just add http://www.hortusb.com/index.html
I got my heli from them and they did a great job shipping an extremely delicate plant.

ps... Black Jungle is in Massachusetts, Cobraplant (aka Sarracenia Northwest) is in Oregon (or Washington... for some reason my brain can't pin it down at the moment), Hortsub is in California.

N. raffle (This guy I had for a while, almost killed it and now it produced this beauty. As you can see the 2 old leaves and the 2 new ones.)




P. primuliflora flower (blooms in under a week.....jb:grinyes:)


D. binata (It stopped growing so I cut off everything and transplanted, now I got 5 arms popping up)
