lol sib! I thought you were getting a lot of neps from cooks. I didn't expect that you were only getting sarrs. I see like only one nep and one ping threre....most others are sarrs. But still....they look neat.
Hey question! How come your shipped plants are not floppy? The plants normally that I got shipped are floppy and all when planted.

Na, I orriginally only oredered one or two neps from cooks and after that wait, the one was still in. I'm not quite sure what you mean about floppy? and what /how do you get things shipped? If you look closely you can see white distorted growth on many of the sarrs. Sib

Syble, I just thought of something! If those bugs (especially the live ones) did not have proper identification (i.e. a valid passport or driver's license), they might be considered illegal aliens in Canada and therefore might be entitled to government subsidies and welfare benefits >>> Rick <<<

Nep's usualy don't get floppy but it all depends on how their packaging is... Cya

Just as a quick followup to my Cook's shipment, the only plant that was dead on arrival was a D. capillaris. The plant itself had a couple of flower scapes on it but I didn't see any seed in them.
What I did see were a bunch of darkish flecks on the paper towel that they used to wrap around the peat moss that surrounded the roots and kept them moist for a longer period of time.
While I figured that the darkish flecks were simply tiny pieces of peat moss, I figured that I'd wet everything again (it was pretty dry), seal the bag and put it under my lights.
Lo and behold, there must have been one viable seed stuck to the paper towel, as there is now a tiny sundew seedling growing on it, which is likely a D. capillaris.
So that makes it a 100% survival rate for everything that arrived in my shipment... a nice ending to this saga.
Everything else that I got is thriving.
