I posted in another thread that I would post pics of my recent order from Crystals Carnivores. She is definitely on the ball with communication. I emailed her to ask questions about shipping since the website didn't have much information and she responded within the hour. She also responded very quickly after my order was placed and had the package shipped first thing the next morning. These are my first butterworts so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I was suprised that the plants are so incredibly small, I'm not sure if that's typical or not, but they appeared to be in good condition. I ordered 1 each of P. Pirouette & P. Moranensis and also received an extra P. agnata x moranensis (I think. I don't have the labels handy now). I didn't have any coins on my for size comparison so I used the lid from the 1 gallon water jug. They're all potted and up on the windowsill now soaking up sun so hopefully my first ones arae successful!

This is the Pirouette.

The Moranensis along with a super tiny baby that came with it.

And the bonus plant that also came with another super tiny plant.

after reading this post i ordered from her, seeing as she has some very nice pings i couldn't find in other places, i actually ordered, then went through the list and wanted to switch something out for a different plant after i already placed the order (stupid me) so i emailed her and she fixed the order within 30 mins of me emailing her

you weren't lying when you implied she had good service, the only flaw i can think of (for some people) is she only sells smaller plants, i.e cuttings and seedgrown,
to me this is a good thing, because her prices are lower by like... 50% then at other places
for example the p. sethos at crystalcarnivores is 6$
you see it here for 12$

and there isnt any guarantee it will be all that much larger either
so win-win in my opinion


ill post images of the plants when and if they come

so far so good,

update, i got the plants and they look beautiful! Not only that, when i asked her to switch out Pirouette for another ping and she said yes, instead of replacing Pirouette with the one i was gonna switch it out for, she just gave me them both
so i ordered
P. Wesser
P. Emarginata x Cyclosecta (gave me 2 of them)
P. Ehlersiae
and got P. Pirouette for free

this is the store I'm going to for pings from now on, she has quite a bit of other plants too
all in all, great store, 10/10
they are in great condition too. I will post a picture of them tomorrow
