Replying years late to this thread because I also saw the page for Darwin's Atelier and wondered if it really were reliable. I was in search of Genlisea and striking out at most other online carnivorous nurseries I knew. I found very little vetting information about DA and nearly no social media presence, but there was a single very strong review in another thread in this forum.
So on that review's word I took the leap and purchased 2 plants (Drosera x Andromeda and Genlisea violacea). I wanted to report back here since I know I was one of the folks looking for reviews just a few weeks ago, and I've got to say, I'm really pleased with the experience. The prices are very reasonable, and the shipping time was pretty quick. I placed my order 8 days ago, it shipped 4 days ago, and the plants arrived today. The shipping was secure, definitely well-packed. The plants themselves arrived in very good condition for a winter shipping. No damage to either of them, and both look healthy and ready to re-establish themselves in my collection. They're just about perfect! And to top it off, the seller even threw in an extra Pinguicula emarginata x jaumavensis for free!
Overall, I'm very satisfied with their process and their plants alike. I would definitely order from them again, and encourage anyone thinking about shopping with them to give it a go.
