Pleased indeed Pete
Tons of large pitchers! Mold issues

The R.Soper is probly my favorit 1 out if 4 i got with the 30% off, next to the Sanguinea. Both had TONS of massive traps. Spending the little extra for a bigger plant really pays off.

They are so beautiful couldnt keep my eyes off them, and even held them in lap while I watched TV. They are def my little babies.

I wanted to give 5 stars, and am on the fence about giving 3. Because unfortunetly all 4 had support sticks that where fully colonized with some kind of mold/fungi. 1 of the 4 had a really bad mold issue growing all over the moss. And possibly on some of the leaves as well. I had my hands full repotting so I didnt get photos of the moldy moss. Im new to the hobby and I dont need the extra hassle of combating fungi issues, while im bag acclimating. So I pray that the other plants dont start growing mold. Spent 97$ total ill be DEVISTATED if I loss them to a mold issue.

They should really think about switching materials for those support sticks. plastic does not have mold issues.
Mold aside I am happy with my plants, they look nice and healthy. And I am going to be a return customer. P.S They threw in a pack of 25 free Drosera seeds. That was a neat suprise

Great

Amazing, waxy tough and growing new leaves already. A week in the sun and it’s flushing a reader purple tint to its leaves (not burning)!
