Very pleased

I purchased 3 large, potted plants as gifts for some young CP enthusiasts. The plants were very well packaged and looked great when they arrived.

The actual plants that arrived don't look like the pictures.

The pictures have plants in pots and looking good. The plant that I got was out of a pot, had no roots that I could see and wrapped in sphagnum moss. There were three mature traps, but the plant looked weak. Nonetheless, I put it in the "potting soil" as instructed and new leaves have continued to grow. So, it looks like it is taking. The proof of the pudding will be if this trend continues or not. So, if the plant continues to grow, I would just caution the buyer that what you get may not look like the picture, but if you follow the directions, the plant will grow.
