Beautiful plants!
I ordered a few different Butterworts. When they arrived I was astonished at what good shape they were in and how mature the plants were. I was expecting a small plant but these were good size and very healthy. I've paid much more for far less elsewhere. I'll be ordering from Sarracenia again.
