Not always, colisanties uses the Cobra Plant for their packageing of their sarracenia. I had someone send me a "cobra plant" last year and it was a purp from a home depot store grown at colisanties with the "cobra plant" marketing tags. If it is actual darlingtonia and not sarracenia, I would love a couple. Thanks, Sib

funny When I reread your post, box stuck out in my mind! when I was reading a post elsewhere from jimscot, he mentioned that his came in a cube, I'm guessing they all come from the same producer! Send me a pm with cost details and what other CP's they have. Thanks, Sib

When i went there last time they had vft, cobras, and neps, the prices were: Vft:5.99 Neps, Cobras: 8.99 I got to get an updated price but that wat i remember last time. Thanks ;D

The 'Cobra plant' from Colasanti's are Sarracenias (SS. purpurea, 'tarnok', 'dana's delight', etc...). We have those in PQ also. So don't rush to Home Depot...unless you're out to buy Sarracenias.

I also bought plant marked "Cobra plant" in HD or Rona more than a year ago, it was Sarracenia - straight pitchers, not curved/hooded as Darlingtoria should have...

You guys were right, I checked out the site and they label sarras. purpurea as cobra. I should have picked up some. Sorry for the misinformation syble

yeah no sweat, I've never even seen D.californica with my own eyes, so I wasn't counting no chickens either... still, it never hurts to post sightings- Brian is in my area and goes to the local HDs a lot, (whereas I on my bicycle not so much) and he will inform me of anything interesting that he may see (tho he's not too good with the IDs just yet ) and I will be sure to post anything unbelievable (like if I find a display packed full of tuberous Drosera at wal-mart LMAO) we'll get this together if we all keep at it!

I've been growing Darlingtonia Californica for close to 30 years, and am kind of sad that this beautiful plant is so hard to see here in Canada. There used to be a beautiful planting of them at the University of BC's garden until they all perished (they didn't know how to look after them). I've attached a photo I just took this morning of my rubbermaid tub full of Darlingtonia. This growing setup was originally put together by a good friend of mine (L. Dennison) who received the original one Darlingtonia plant from me back in 1989. So over the course of the last decade and a half, this plant has given rise to what you see today - a jam packed Darlingtonia plant (offshoots and self-seeded) collection of over a hundred plants in this large rubbermaid container.
