Hello Everyone, I am wondering if anyone knows of an economical (or at least something approaching economical) way to ship potted CPs. I only got my first CP this past summer: a Sarracenia purpurea ssp. purpurea from northern Wisconsin. It is growing in a large cooler in a bed of sphagnum moss along with some non-carnivorous bog plants. I am thinking that it would be fun to try to get some other CPs, but there is a big problem with that. Right now, I'm two weeks into a three-year stint at law school, so for the next three years, I will be in one state for the school year and another state during the summer. As far as I can see, I can't keep any CPs unless I can ship them home when I go home and then ship them to school when I go back to school. (I'm not trying to ship the cooler. When I travel by train, I can bring the cooler as a carry-on. I would only need to ship potted plants.) If anyone knows anything about how to do this, how much it would cost, or whether there is a lot of paperwork involved, I would greatly appreciate hearing about it. Thanks!

To my knowledge, there is no legal or ethical restraints in mailing or shipping your plants to yourself from one U.S. state to another. No permits or paperwork are required within the U.S. -- unless there is some special plant quarantine in your area. www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/index.shtmlMost CPs are hardy and can be easily moved from place to place without undue concern, except for exposure to extreme weather of heat and cold. For information about the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA), see Barry's FAQ www.sarracenia.com/faq/faq4310.htmlShipping plants across international boarders is another matter entirely. www.sarracenia.com/faq/faq4320.html
