Yeah, I read that. At least it's not the busy season. Lol. I am curious to how many orders he gets though. :?:

It came today! The date on the package was the 20th so it arrived in good time. The s. Flava is around a foot and green with 2 pitchers. The d. Intermedia was green and there were two. The u. Livida was also green in its plug. Nice! It seems to be a good deal if you get sarracenia and the neps are probably excellent as well. I've got the sundew and bladderwort in their pots with baggies over them but I'm not sure what I'm going to do about humidity for the sarracenia flava. It's potted up but not sure about putting it outside soon in the hot sun. . .

I ordered those three: drosera intermedia, utricularia livida, and sarracenia flava. It was a small order since I had never ordered from them before. All the reviews were good when I did my research. I took pics but technology isn't working for me today so maybe I can get them up soon? The drosera was $1 50, the uticularia $3 45, and the sarracenia $4 50. Sorry about the pics! Computer wont cooperate. :( :(

I think I'm going to put it to the test and order that large box I mentioned, It will give me alot of plants I dont yet have. I'm going for quantity over quality. Id rather kill ten $3 plants than one $30 plant. Also it lets me practice taking care of several different Genus's. Gunna be a week before I place my order.

Thats a good idea. And a few can grow and be worth more than the ones you lose. The plants were in sealed baggies and styrofoam chips lined them in the box. I'll try to get the pics up this weekend.

Looks like that place has great prices. I picked Wacky Traps over this place, but I hope to get a bulk FT order from them sometime :)

Just placed my order with lees, gunna test out how well he sends all of his plants. He is even kind enough to take requests and really work with the buyer to make sure they get what they want. I need the plants to arrive on July 2nd and he is going to do everything in his power to be sure of that. He is going to get me a Nep even though it costs 15 bucks, and put it in the wholesale order.

I ordered this:

Total came out to be 40.44 with shipping.

In a bit over a week I may be singing a different tune about him, we will see.

Tell how it goes. That sounds like a good deal! I might order a nep later. Considering dwarves as well, they are are supposed to be between 5 - 8 inches tall and wide.

Here they are. The flava pitcher got bent, but I had a madeshift splint made for it.
Very cool, he mentioned that some of the pitchers will end up being bent because he sends them out with decent sized pitchers... I never thought they would be that big... what did I just get myself into.

Lol. Thats exactly what I thought. I expected young pitchers maybe half that size. And it had long roots.
