Drosera regia, also known as the King Sundew, is an incredible species. It grows long sword-shaped leaves that can wrap multiple times around prey, surrounding it with dew secreting tentacles that are equally impressive in size. Originating from a single valley in South Africa, it is one of the most vulnerable Drosera species in the wild with only a few hundred individuals left in one small colony.

I ordered a Drosera regia from Curious Plant and had a great experience. The plant arrived very well packaged, healthy, and already nice and dewy. Shipping was also impressively fast—it only took about three days from the time I ordered to receive it.
This was especially notable compared to my experience with California Carnivores. I ordered a Dionaea muscipula ‘Ginormous’ from them on the same day, and it hasn’t even shipped yet.
Overall, I’m really happy with my order and would definitely buy from Curious Plant again.
