Going strong.

I’ve had this sarracenia for almost a year now, and it has absolutely thrived since day one!! Sometimes I forget just how small it was, and I can’t believe it grew so full in such a short amount of time. Incredible growth, and the tops of nearly every pitcher have taken on a lovely deep red color.

Great!

Arrived in fantastic condition along with all of the other items in my order, especially considering that USPS lost track of my package and delayed delivery an additional 2 days. I purchased 10 or so items and all were packaged wonderfully. The attached pictures are after about 6 weeks of growth.
