My purchase
The Dente I bought from you guys came packaged perfect. It was in good health and it still doing great. I do plan on ordering a few more plants before their dormancy sets in. When I saw the condition it was in when I received it I said right then I'll be ordering from them again. Keep up the great work guys, and you'll be hearing from me again very soon.

Great Quality from knowledgeable Store
The Dente Flytrap came in great condition. Found out they have a YouTube channel with helpful tips and advice to care for your Carnivores plants. Already ordered red dragon flytraps and they are thriving. Definitely recommend buying from Sarracenia Northwest!

Incredible deal and very healthy plant
I was able to take advantage of the 25 year anniversary sale to get a great price on this very healthy flytrap. It is growing very strongly and appears that there are two plants growing very close together in the pot I received.

Frikkin sweet
One of the first plants we've obtained on our start into the carnivorous flora hobby. These fly traps are frikkin sweet! Love seeing them eating spiders and flies. Definitely getting more.
