David Conner may have some, and the plants he sells are always healthy. I received a couple from him about a month ago that were pristine.

For B52's you just need to email him (email link in B52 description):

California Carnivores is also reputable:

In addition to the plants listed at FlytrapStore, Matt and I have our own personal collections and stock. If you have a PayPal.com account, I can arrange a one-time private sale of one or several B52s from my personal stock right now (I might not be able to do so several weeks from now). Just email steve@flytrapcare.com

The other suggested sources are good too, especially David Conner, the original tissue-culturer of B52. :)

I just received an e-mail from David Conner this morning saying that he has some young b52's available.
Here is a direct quote from the E-mail ....

"I'm currently out of the medium sized 'B52's I normally sell for $15. All I have at this time are some smaller/younger specimens with traps around 1/2" that I'll sell 3 for $15 - 6 plants max per customer, These smaller ones can be coaxed along to grow larger by lightly misting them with a dilute 1/4 strength solution of MaxSea 16-16-16 fertilizer once or twice a week. I include a couple of packets of MaxSea with any orders of these smaller/younger 'B52's"

It sounds like a really good deal to me.

I have three of those "smaller" plants from David that I received about a month ago. Here are some photos I took of them a couple days ago. The largest traps you see are about 3/4" and they are growing vigorously.

Wow.. I feel like a fool. I got ripped off on a "deal" from eBay. I dropped 28 bucks on a small one that's maybe a year or two old. Although he's growing well since I got him. I still wish I would of known of these sources before hand.

David Conner does offer nice plants for sale. I've gotten some really nice B52's from Conners Carnivores. But all things considered I would take Steve up on his offer here. Every time I get plants from Steve they turn out to be monsters. I wish I knew his secret.

Hey Steve .... You wouldn't happen to have a Big Mouth in your private collection that you'd be willing to part with ?

Not from my personal collection. But I do have some nice Big Mouth Flytraps that are emerging from dormancy well and which will probably be listed at FlytrapStore.com within several weeks.

Those B52's look great. I recently ordered a B52 potted, from a CP UK supplier and it came like this.

I did get an ok price tho, £5.50 per clone + PnP but i wish we had a FTS in the UK :D.
