All of the packages have been sent and most of them have been received! If you have already received your package, may I suggest that you leave a note on this thread thanking your Santa? Plus, we all want to see the goodies that you got!

Alright, had to organize this one :lol: I received my package yesterday afternoon and wow it was impressive. Finished planting them today. elaineo sent me over 3 types of sarracenia, 2 types of flytrap (technically 3) including a dwarf clone I've never heard of but I'm excited to check out, a sundew(don't worry, I loved it), one very thought out card that explained the plants as well as a monkey(Yes, a monkey) hitchhiker. That purp joke :lol: I could tell she put a lot of thought into the plant choices through the card and wanted to give me things that I didn't have and was interested in. The packaging was great. It was clever and innovative. I learned some good tricks for the future. The package overflowed with character and personality and it was truly a joy to receive. I have to admit I was smiling while looking at the box and reading the card. I have to say it exceeded anything I ever would have expected and was hands down the coolest secret Santa box I could have ever received. Even talked about it at work :lol: elaineo you're awesome, I loved the monkey XD. Thank you very much!

Everyone get ready to be jealous, because Santa stopped by my house today!

He dropped off a package with a huge bag of live sphag, a Ping Aphrodite and a pirouette (partially deconstructed). I haven’t had these pings before so I’m super excited to grow them :D

Santa did not leave a name, but Thank You, whoever you are :)

Yeah for the most part everything looked stellar. The only one that had any real die-off was the dwarf flytrap. Idk what it looked like before shipping but it seems salvageable though. I have them all hardening off on the patio. Everything else held up very well. I'll send you an update when they get to growing :D

Received my Secret Santa package from none other than; Apollyon! He included a 'DCXL' VFT, a Spathulata 'Tamlins' some GA3 Acid with Byblis aquatica and some VFT seeds. Behold, Christmas has come early...



P.S, we just won Basketball championships today and the package was just at my doorstep! What perfect timing. Thank you Apollyon!
