Desperate, pathetic plea

Hi all. So, I made the mistake of showing my daughter a picture of Dreamsicle and now she wants one. I know that Herbz187 has some for sale but I have exceeded my plant budget for, well, the year. Is anyone willing to trade a leaf pulling? Pretty much anything on my grow list is up for negotiation. Thanks.

I don't have one but I feel that so bad in my soul lol. I brought my plants in and my kids are having a cow because I won't let them take one upstairs.

My daughter has a desktop grow light with a VFT and Nepenthes ventricosa on her desk in her room. :)

I'm receiving one of those plants in the mail. I'll check it out and see if there's anything I can do

Also, there's some "Drosera X 'Dreamsicle' x Self" seeds in the seedbank.

I don't have any Dreamsicle divisions yet (that's coming in the spring). However, I do have a couple dozen Drosera filiformis var. filiformis X Drosera filiformis 'Florida Red' hybrids. They're very pretty, have a reddish tinge all over, cold-hardy like a flytrap. A few of them even have flowers right now. PM me with your shipping address, and I'll send you a few when I do the Grün flytraps in the giveaway.

A big shout out to MikeB and Ping for hooking a guy up. I got your gifts today and my daughter is thrilled. She has already staked claims to plants and I just got them in the pots! Thanks to this great community. It's a pleasure to be a part of it.

You can't see my happy dance (which is a good thing, trust me) but the cuttings from Ping are sprouting beautifully! I am super excited. The picture wasn't very clear so I added some color so you can see the 16 sprouts I've got.

And the divisions that Mike B sent are doing wonderfully. Thanks again.
