First Hawiian Botanicals cut online orders for CP's Now Pop's Preditory Plants followed suit not doing any orders online,like HB just locally in Vancouver(drop ins I guess) I live in NL how am I supposed to get a CP now that both places in BC quit online shipping? Keith told me this in a email.

Lots of people selling plants here. You can probably get anything you want in our trading post.

Exactly what Hal said.
Aside from the Nepenthes I have everything that you could buy from HB. I'm not a nursery though, it takes me time to make plants avliable. Be patient and things will pop up. There are loads of growers with very nice collections that don't do public sales, they would rather sell privately to people that ask.
If your nice enough and make friends with people in BC there is always the option to have them pick up plants for you and mail them.

I heard that there will be a big, multi person, midsummer sale right here on the forum. My suggestion is save up some cash before then, so when the sale comes up, there is nothing to hold you back from getting some CPs. (That's what I am doing for the upcoming sale. Put some aside every pay. The last few caught me off guard so i wasn't really ready.)

Hi Dennis! I believe Hawaiian Botanicals is now resumed shipping plants since April, 2015. Cheers! Sorry you were wrong about the shipping of CP's that was for flytraps only Not yet. In 2016, we will be open for local retail sales on Saturday only. We will be packing & shipping wholesale orders from Tuesday to Friday and closed for both retail & wholesale on Sunday & Monday. We haven't decided if we will continue shipping small retail orders (i.e. 'mail orders') in 2016. We have thousands of carnivorous plants in stock and have decided to focus on expanding our wholesale business. It's difficult to pack & ship wholesale orders when we're also receiving retail visitors on site; hence the change in our retail hours for 2016. this was a email received from Jack himself,

I personally talked to Jack today and wanted to clarify some stuff.
We've been having once of the nicest springs in a very long time. It's been super warm and hasn't been pouring rain like normal. This nice weather has prompted people to start their gardens and pond work earlier and the horticulture industry in general has been super super busy.
For those who aren't aware, retail CP sales are a small part of HB's business but take up a lot of time to process. They've decided to stop retail mail orders until further notice and focus their efforts into other parts of the business.
This being said all outstanding orders that were placed before May 15th will still be honoured. Please give them a little bit of patience while they work to get your order done.
Anyone interested in ordering Flytraps, Sarracenia, Drosera ect can contact me as I am planning on purchasing plants from HB to sell as mail orders. I am in no way going to replace HB and won't have the selection or availability year round but hopefully this will help satisfy some of our members.
Hope this help!

Are your prices going to be the same as HB?? I read that on the site too but took it wrong I am too interested in CP's to wait "until further notice"
FYI Kieth Davis of p p plants is cutting CP shipping as well

No clue on prices. They'll be similar, this is going to be low key nothing crazy. No website or business just selling plants to the forum to help grow the hobby.
Pops has never done mail order like HB. Most of the time is just isn't worth the time.

...that's very nice of you H20, but is it really necessary for you to take on all the extra work? There are group orders and sales here quite frequently. If someone wants something, it just takes a bit of effort. If they want it bad enough, chances are they'll be able to find it here (just as I have).

Hi H2O - I don't even live in Canada, but I'm moved that you'd do this. That's really, amazingly kind of you. I can't believe someone would do that. I'm gobsmacked!
