Dear WellSpring, my venus-flytraps are settling into their new home and seem to be doing well, with several new traps on the way from the center of each plant. Thanks for your great service! Steven

This plant was well packaged. It looks like it just came out of dormancy. So I can't wait to see how it develops as it grows. I really enjoy shopping with wellspring. They have such great quality plants and excellent customer service. I will definitely be as always a returning customer.
