I assumed I had tremors, but actually I’m just having trouble getting my phone to focus today for some reason.

It just occurred to me that I think someone might have actually tried to steal my gift! That damage looks pretty sussy imo. Apparently the Grinch is not a plant lover thankfully. :D Got lucky on a lot of fronts with this awesome delivery.

Sorry been a little busy with puppers and uh—snip snip.


Thanks for the Pings and More!

I guess next year, I'll have to include a card of some sort... among other things.

Aw, Santa is the best! In addition to all the cool flytraps I received, they sent me a flytrapstore.com gift certificate! I must’ve been a very good girl this year! Thank you Santa, for everything!!

Oh, and Santa? I would love to take you up on your offer of more plants this summer, but only if I can send you some, too. :)

I dashed out the door as soon as I heard the mail truck coming down the street, and greeted the mail lady like a kid on Christmas morning...

Everything was potted and professionally packed with printed labels. I can tell that this is someone who has a lot of experience shipping plants; the packaging was better than anything I have ever received from a commercial grower. The plants even had protective cups to protect their leaves! I wish I had taken photos before removing all the wrapping, but I was just TOO EXCITED.

Now I am super nervous (and thank you Jade for creating a thread on adelae!) and super excited, as these are a totally different species/genus than anything I have ever grown before.

Thank you so much Santa @Panman ! You are the best!

Wahoo! Santa left a package in my mail box today. I am super excited about this. It is a BCP#01D Green Swamp flytrap. My wife's family is from Brunswick County, NC and I have made several trips to the Green Swamp. This plant will have a special place in my Green Swamp container bog.

Thank you, Santa!

Wow!! I have the BEST Santa ever. Where to begin? Well, In no particular order, here goes.
I got a Nepenthes, OK, a picture of one. Inside the box that Santa left was an S. Rubra gulfensis grown by Mike Wang, an S. Purpurea venosa seed grown by M. Sprouse, an S. Purpurea Heterophylla x self and last but certainly not least a Darlingtonia Californica Del Norte CO(the red one) grown by Mike Wang. Thank you so very very much Santa. You know who you are!

Well, we're going to tie off the bow and call it a wrap on this year's Secret Santa. Thank you to everyone who participated. I hope that you all enjoy your gifts, but more importantly, I hope you enjoyed sharing your love for these plants with someone else.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
