No sweat. My neck started hurting toward the end of potting up what you did send so I'm glad there wasn't more.

I'm just sorry you're paying another shipping cost.

I always forget to put stuff in peoples packages so i'm used to paying shipping twice. Youd figure id learn my lesson.

Wow, Nice collection! I wish I had half of the stuff some other people have... Anyway, do you know of any good places (in Florida) to see carnivorous plants? I know that there are TONS of places up near you in Tallahassee and Pensacola, But I have found only ONE near me. (Jacksonville)

Added Schuppenstiel I, Trichterfalle X Coquillage # 1, and Trichterfalle X Coquillage # 2..... I think I may have an addiction

Thanks! I'm sure your collection will get there. It's taken me a few years, though I tend to buy in spurts.

Unfortunately my one big failing as an enthusiast in this hobby is that I've never tried to locate areas around me where I can see them in the wild. I know there are places within an hour of here where I've heard you can see Sarracenia from the road but I don't know where exactly. If I were you I would sign up to the CP mailing list here and ask the question there. You may not get info on sites that are hidden or have rare plants but I would think someone may be able to direct you to some sites that are easily accessible.

Added WIP Slim Snapper, Creeping Death, Trichterfalle, and G16

I would like to thank Matt and Leah for getting these plants to me in time to be potted up before my wife gets home from visiting family.

LoL....Sometimes I think about how much I've spent on plants over the years and my own jaw drops. Then I go outside and look at them and it's all worth it.

Couldn't agree more!

Seriously. Plus the fact that most CP's readily divide makes it better.

My Japanese Maple is probably the most costly plant I own outside of my carnivorous ones and as awesome as it is I will always just have one.

But I can pay $80 for a Sarracenia cultivar and with little effort on my part I will have several divisions after a few years that I can sell/trade/give away.

You ever tried rooting cuttings of your japanese maple? Might be a good way to get more than one;). I know thats on my non CP wishlist.

Holy hell, I've read that comment a dozen times and didn't notice that. I even had to read this comment a few times before I noticed it. LoL

As for the JM cuttings, I've thought about it but from my limited research it's supposed to be hard to do. That's why most JM's you buy are actually grafted on to root stock of a different species that's hardier. There are a few types like "Glowing Embers" that don't need grafting but mine, "Crimson Queen", does.

I'd give it a try. Wait until spring and take a few cuttings from the newer, softer growth. Could be very lucrative if you can find a successful method.

Done. Thanks!
