Yesterday I finally received my online order of CPs, which was super exciting since there is not much available locally. I did a joint order with my Aunty and also purchased a few plants for my Nana who is super keen to make a mini bog garden of her own. Waiting for Australia post really does test your patience...
Unfortunately I ended up with the sole task of getting them all potted up, which took about 3 and a half hours
The flytraps had curled up a fair bit, making it pretty tricky getting them in - though I'm sure they will start to flatten out again once they settle. It was very cool to unwrap all the plants and find a few extra divisions and babies in there! Luckily I had bought some foam cups as a back up for any smaller plants.
Just look at all those beautiful flytraps! So exciting to get some different kinds. We also ordered a few different Sundews and Sarracenia (though their traps had been cut off for dormancy).
Totally in love with Long Red Fingers!
How cute is this baby Cross Teeth!
My Dutch Delight came with an impressive flower stalk
Loving the bubble gum pink on this Paradisia!
I'll take a few more pics one the plants have recovered from being shipped and have settled in a bit. The Sundews in particular look a bit sad atm, not that I blame them. I ordered 2 Pink Venus and received 5 all up! Ordered 1 Bristle Tooth and received 3! We also received an additional Sarracenia Daniel Rudd, Big Vigorous and Low Giant. All in all, very happy with our new additions

They have come over from Victoria to WA, seasons should be much the same but it's probably not quite as cold here.
I heard Beta Fish Pellets are good too, but haven't tried it. Mine catch a fair bit of food being outside on the balcony, though a lot of the traps are closed on my new plants from being handled and in shipping.
