Lovely and thriving little Dionaea
I had never ordered from this company before but ordered a Dionaea muscipula "Dente Flytrap" on sale for the anniversary, and honestly did not expect much for that price. I was so pleasantly surprised. My plant arrived very healthy, putting out bunch of new traps, despite having been lost in shipping by the PO for several days longer than expected. A month later it's still thriving and I love it so much.
