Where to purchase non-typical dionaea?

[mmlr38]

I am looking to purchase some more interesting varieties of Dionaea. I currently have a few Akai Ryu and a Dente. Those seem to be the most widely distributed and readily available.

Does anyone know the best place to purchase some more plants? I am looking for reasonable prices and healthy, fairly mature plants (not just out of TC).

I have been looking at Conner's Carnivores plants. Namely the Red Piranha, Cupped Trap, Sawtooth and B52. I would like to own one of each of these plants. Has anyone ever ordered from them before? If so, what has been your experience? Are there other places on the web that you would suggest? I have also been looking at czplants.com and the Carnivorous Plant Nursery (carnivorousplantnursery.com).

Suggestions?

Conner's Carnivores is an excellent source for a number of unusual VFTs. David produces his plants from tissue culture and has an excellent reputation for quality plants. Since you are in Boulder, it is much easier to obtain plants from folks within the US because of the cost and US restrictions on importing plants from overseas.

A list of reputable vendors of carnivorous plants is at

Check them out and see what is available.

I've dealt with Carnivorous Plant Nursery and have been very satisfied. Michael is quite knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. Plants are true to type, shipped quickly and arrived in good condition.

Cheers.

David Conner is an excellent source. His plants are grown with plenty of TLC. He sold me the actual"poster boy" 'Sawtooth' that was the model for his logo.

Flytrapshop.com run by Andrew the proprietor of TerraForums is also a good source for 'Dentate Traps' and 'Akai Ryu'. Again these are grown with much TLC.
