Pics are a before/after week after arrival. Still alive. My Utricularia Graminifolia took while to get going so I am assuming the same here.

Nice clump was sent and I like that the plugs were protected by more than just a paper towel. All the plants in my order were nice size and well packaged. I was worried because the shipment was delayed by 3 days, but everything arrived perfectly and looked very healthy.

This one came in bloom. So pretty & petite. Packaged well, particularly for a bog plant. Soil was wet & most of the flowers intact.
