Hi all,
Has anyone ordered from, or had any experience with, either Hungry Flytraps or Urantia Carnivores? How was the experience? Positive? Negative? So-So? I'm asking because, although I've heard of Hungry Flytraps, the site seems a bit dodgy, and I've never even heard of Urantia Carnivores, so any input on either would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Urantia Carnivores was the place to go for petiolaris complex drosera. It's just that I'm remembering Bobby Lynch (the owner) sending out a message a month or two ago that he was closing up. The website is still there, tho. If you can still buy from him, I'd recommend it.

My understanding is that he sold the business to his ex-wife or something along those lines. I don't think she's much of a plant person though and the store's a bit of an unknown currently. There were a lot of issues with delayed and unfulfilled orders for the year prior as well.

I ordered from Urantia after the change in ownership. It was an entirely dissatisfying experience with the new owner misrepresenting the status of the order a number of times and not even sending everything on the order. He told me the order had shipped (twice!) and gave me a tracking number. With the number I could tell that he hadn't put it in the mail. When it did eventually ship over a week later, it wasn't from his location, but 1/2 way across the country in Las Vegas. I have no trust in Urantia.
