I bought an S. flava from California carnivores, and I just received it. I bought it on 5/8, and received it 4 days later, and I live in Kentucky. Wow, that was fast :)

It came in a box, which was cushioned with newspaper, to keep the plant from bouncing around. The box was in good shape, meaning nobody dropped it or anything, and I didn't have to cut through a million miles of tape to unbox it. :)

The plant itself was $7-8, but somehow the shipping and handling brought the price up to $20, but I can't complain since they are sending it from California. The s. Flava came with a care guide, which I guess comes with any order, since it talks about all sorts of cp's and how to care for them.

I will stop talking now, so you all can see the pictures I took, of the plant, the box it came in, and how it came packaged. I must say, this is one handsome young plant ;D

This is how it comes packaged when I first opened up the box. I already removed some of the newspaper, so I could show how the plant is situated in the box. :)

CC is nice but their shipping kills, that's why Mike Wang is the way to go most of the time.
