Found this display of carnies at a local garden center. They had far more variety than I expected, especially in Arizona, of all places! Apparently the plants come from a local enthusiast. I was wondering if they're labeled correctly and if so, if I might want to pick some up?

The certainly appear to be labeled correctly, but I'm not sure of the pricing. $12 for a typical flytrap seems steep to me. $17 for Hercules, maybe on a good day.

I figured. This garden center has been hiking up prices lately. A tree bought for less than $100 last year was tossed into a massive pot and is now over $200...

Especially for those scrawny flytraps. The typicals I'm selling are 3 or 4 times that size for half the price.

Went back yesterday for unrelated reasons and saw the plants - they are doing far worse now, which is strange, considering the nursery uses RO water.

Also found Maxsea carried at a different garden center. Never saw it in Arizona before.

Right here, in the "Sales, Trades & Wants USA" section: Flytraps and sundews for sale

If there are Drosera intermedia sundews in the flytrap pots, those are freebies with the order.
