Wow! I would love too have darlingtonia and cep's in my local nursery! Mine has flytraps, Sarrs, and cape sundews. Which region do you live in? Also, how much do they charge?

Ours barely have VFT's, and that's it.

Edit: I did find a place that said the were a nursery open to the public only to show up there and it was a home grower that sells on eBay. There is one other that says they have CP's that I will check out soon but other than that I am limited to the internet. Living in the PNW it seems we are limited to our selection. However, I have bought several Sarrs from Matt and thus far I have been happy. Also, his VFT seeds that I won in Feb. photo contest kick butt. I have thus far very close to 100% germination.

Before I was an adult and had access to the internet, I got my CPS from Lowe's. I got a venture coaster there and rubras southwoods garden nursery in Tulsa also sells carnivorous plants meerkat mob White Knight and another one that I don't remember the name of they sell. I got my nepenthes Miranda from them and I also got into pente's Rebecca soaper from Lowe's. Everyone just sells ventratas now

My 15+ year old probably-Miranda was from Lowe's originally. I used to get carnivorous plants there semi frequently in high school--even found a cobra lily (it died) and a butterwort (it died)

There was also a little bit where I lived near a reptile store of all things that carried carnivorous plants over by their other terrarium plants. Only time I've ever seen a store actually put a grow light on their sad little VFTs.

Check out the vendors page for Courting Frogs Nursery, they sell at quite a few nurseries in Washington and Oregon. The selection isn't huge, but everything I've gotten has been healthy and reasonably priced. https://courting-frogs-nursery.com/
