Why yes, I did get another one

This is my third VFT variety that I've gotten from CPN and I haven't been disappointed! The plant came well packaged and protected and has opened up nicely. New growth is already showing and I'm excited to add it to my little collection!

The arrival home of my two Venus Flytrap - 'Akai Ryu'

I really liked my new Akai Ryu, only I would have liked them to offer the service of coming in pots since during the trip they dried up a bit and then I had to prune them. Although I know that in about two to three months I will have some super beautiful plants.
