Hi everybody.

I was wondering if I buy seeds on ebay will it ever get delivered?
Just wondering if customs might confiscate it.
I'm from South Africa.

They probably won't notice it, but they might.
Be careful on eBay, a lot of the people selling fly trap seeds (even ones with good ratings) sell fake ones

Just post a link for us to check if you find one that looks good.

Thank you I also think its better to buy locally. But the only one that I can find here is the DCXL, B52, Mixed Giant, All Green Giant, Fine tooth X Red and Vigorous Japan.
I would like to get purple venus flytrap or the all red flytrap.

There is no true purple flytrap. There are some that look more purple than crimson, but there aren't any with a violet color.

yea, the only time I've seen a "purple" flytrap is when my Maroon Monster turns that dark (which it just did here at the beginning of dormancy lol)...other than that, no real purple one. maybe REALLY really dark maroon, but no purple. would be cool though...

When all the trees have been cut down,
all the animals are hunted,
all the waters are polluted,
and all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot eat money
