Hi,
I recently ordered a Sharks tooth from Shropshire Carnivores, and yet again, They sent me another FREE plant, + a packet filled with mixed drosera seeds!
the free plant was a D.spatulata, which has already grown 2 leaves since It arrived. the sharks tooth is settling in fine. The D.binata that i transferred almost a week ago is dying back, but hopefully will pull through and begin to grow in a few weeks, what do you guys think? Also in the spattulata pic, is that a flower stem starting to grow? thanks!

The potted seeds seem a bit dry to me. I'd water them with a plant sprayer untill the soil is as black as in your other pots.

Nice plants indeed. Good to know you get quality at Shropshire :)

I took the picture before i put water in the tray underneath, the potting mix has now darkened and in a few hours will be as moist as my other plants :)
I'll update the picture now...

Looking good Ollie .
We try our very best to send out only plants we would be happy to recieve ourselves .
The reason we give away free plants is because when we started growing a few years ago we had freebies from other growers , so this is our way of giving something back .
Just wish we could do it to everyone .
