Excellent condition, nice specimens.  I've planted them in my bog and have moved that from my office to the outside of the animal shelter for the season.  Look forward to the growth.  Lots of positive comments from the public.

Dear Rick

The plants that you sent us have been installed in the gallery and the exhibit opens tomorrow.  Everyone is impressed, especially with the Nepenthes.  Thank you!

I am going  to place a second order of plants with you so that we have a second set to rotate in and out of the exhibit.  Unless the temperatures dip again I think that you can send these out via your normal methods rather than priority.  I will fill out the order online tomorrow

The plants look great at the moment.  I am a bit worried about the light and the humidity but we are working to optimize it as best we can.  I am going to follow your suggestions on the website to put gravel in the trays under the pots.  Any suggestions you can provide will be appreciated

Thanks
Deb

Plants arrived yesterday.  Got them about 11:00 a.m. at our local post office where they had them for me.  They were in great condition.
I really like the Dielsiana as that's the one I most wanted to get. The portion of  Tokaiensis was very generous- I split it into six separate pots and even then most had multiple plants.  (Having re-read your website description I see this is normal but still its nice to get multiple plants).
And then to find an extra plant- the Binata was just the icing on the cake! I thought maybe you made an error then noticed your note at the bottom of
the shipping form.  Thank you!

Hi Rick,

The plants arrived today. They look great! Thanks.  Actually I was really impressed by the way that you packed them inside those plastic containers and then inside the larger box.  That’s a very good idea.  Thanks for the free gift.

Morning Rick!

Well I am impressed!!! I got them already....thank you so much!!! They are sooo cute!
Will certainly do business with you again...can I damage them Rick by pressing them down into the sphagnum?
Thanks again...you made my day! Looks like one is going to bloom too.

Hi Rick,

The plants were in pretty good condition. The VFT only lost one trap. That was it. Otherwise they are fine. The plants look really good. And thanks for the extra plant; I wasn't expecting that. I'm certainly going to have to order again. Thanks again.

Jeff

Hi Rick

Hello, Rick
 
Thanks very much for the advice on feeding frequency.  We have a shady porch on which we've kept the sundew over the summer.  It loves it!  Lots of little black flies to eat.  I noticed a lot of little spider webs out there, and figured dozens of spiders couldn't be wrong.  The plant is so happy that it's sprouted two flower stalks and has lots of new leaves.
 
My son is having a successful experience with the plants you grow, and is getting a lot of enjoyment from it. 
 
Thanks for making it possible,
Rosalynn

Hi Rick,

Everything arrived today and the the plants look great! We're having a "potting party" tomorrow and then we'll start distributing them. Thanks again for all of your help.

Cheers,

Hi Rick,

The planting was a great success. We ended up with a 4-person assembly line that got everything potted up in about two hours.

The response to the plants in the school has been amazing. The kids have been totally taken with the flytraps and it's really generated a lot of excitement in the last few days before the production hit the stage.

I'll put a program in the mail to you right away. In the meantime, here are a couple of photos with many, many thanks from Almonte District High School for helping to make our Venus Flytrap Fundraiser a success!

Cheers,
Rob

Hey Rick, happy TGIF but I'm guessing you don't really get a weekend since you are your own boss - at least your doing something you have a passion for, not everyone gets that chance.

Anyways, I guess you saw my brief intro on OCPS - nice forum and everyone just raves about you so looks like you will have another satisfied/repeat customer. I thought I was going to mainly stick with Dionaea but now you got me wanting to expand into Drosera too - they don't take up much more space than Dionaea do anyways, now how can I convince my other half (thinking wheels are in motion!)?

Thanks for the upgraded post and refunding the difference, once I figure out a game plan on how to fill available plant space I'll be definitely giving you shout.  Thanks again for everything, I'll definitely recommend you to any new prospective customers looking for a reputable dealer.

Chris.

Plants arrived safe and sound. They look really great. They are all potted and under the fluorescents. A little bit of shock, but nothing an extended photo period can't help.

Well Done!

Warmest Regards,

Dear Rick,
 
I'm a bit late, but just a mail to inform you that the plants had cleared the customs well last Friday. (After fetching them we went for a weekend-trip and returned today).
The plants are really professionally packed and only the biggest leaf did not stand the journey. Thanks for the great quality and the service.
The plants for the other customers are already re-packed and shipped to their final destination.
  
Best regards,
 Simone

Okay ... as a forum to share experiences, I will be posting thoughts on some Nurseries I've had the pleasure of dealing with (heck if eBay can do it... so can we)

Keehn's Carnivores
operates out of BC interior (Lumby, BC)

Very nicely packaged and promptly delivered as promised.
Proprietor followed up with Pre and Post delivery.
Nice, healthy VFT’s - professionally labeled - big and robust, with many growth points.
Plants originated from Tissue Culture.
After almost one week in my greenhouse, the plants are perking up and have adapted well.

***** A definite FIVE stars out of FIVE. I'd definitely recommend.

Hi Rick:

My relatives in Newmarket have received the plants. They sent me some pictures and were a little concerned about the plants. It told them things looked fine and they had nothing to worry about. Here’s the correspondence.  

P.S. (As I was writing this, I got your email! Thanks for the follow-up. The kids are so excited about their plants!)

Hi Rick,

Just thought I'd let you know that the Drosera arrived in good condition today. Thanks for the extra plant. Again I look forward to ordering from you again.

It's Scott from Ontario.  I just got my lance leaf sundew today.  Thanks very much for the bonus Drosera tokaiensis, it is very much appreciated.  The plants seem to be in pretty good shape.  Also I found a long stem with flower buds on it in the container with the plants.  I am not sure which plant it came from because it must have broken off during shipping.  Do you think that the plant will generate another flower stem?
 
Scott.

Hi Rick,

 
Rick that is wonderful that the business is doing so well for you!!! I sure love my little guys....when the sun shines they just glisten! I have them in an east window and they get some of the morning sun...they must like it because they are thriving.
 
Well good luck Rick....I am sure you will do well!

Hi!

   I just received my plants yesterday and they were in great condition.  If
we could actually get some sun here in Manitoba, the plants should be set
(it's been raining almost non-stop for about two weeks now).  Thank you so
much for the great service.

Hello
 
It's great to see your labors shown locally.
 
I picked up a ping. moranensis and a rosetted sundew at Art Knapp in Kelowna. They are doing quite well.

Hi Rick,

I just wanted to let you know that I received my sundews today.  They look extremely healthy and it was very well-packaged.  I would also like to thank you for the gift - I really appreciate it!  It was a pleasure ordering from you and I look forward to do future orders again.

Hello from the Toronto Zoo

    Received my plants and potted them up. They are in great condition.
Thank-you.

    I must impose on you again. We loved the plants so much there is discussion on making a display of several species.
Do you know of anyone (including yourself) who sells a large fully equipped terrarium with stand with lights, misters and lockable (to keep
the public from taking samples home). I have done some research, but nothing decent so far. I want to present my supervisor with several options and prices asap.

Thanks again,

Hope to order more soon,

Yours sincerely,
Norm

Received the plants today. All i can say is Wow! Despite being into the
hobby for now 10 years, I've rarely seen that quality of plants for the
price. Well package, great plants, great price, Canadian source... couldn't
ask for better! :D Thanks a lot, and for the 'little present'.

Gave you a good feedback on the OCPS forum, hoping it can help to boost your
sales.

Thanks again, I'll definitely be a regular customer in the future... I'll especially on the look out for your next petiolaris complex sundews :D
