I bought several venus flytraps from them, and they threw in a free sundew! Sadly it was dug up by a squirrel and didn't make it. All my VFTs are doing great, but they live outside year-round. Every time I've tried to grow one inside, it's died within a few months.

Our indoor spaces tend to get very dry during the winter. I will add that my brother has had more success than me. I have ordered from California Carnivores but only while doing US events. Canadians can not order from them. Gwen: Your climate has the benefit of all that humidity and the temperatures don’t drop as low. Our indoor spaces tend to get very dry during the winter.

I know you mentioned http://californiacarnivores.com/ in your book, I wanted to give them an additional shout -- they're a huge, wonderful nursery and well-worth the visit if you're in northern California [and you can buy most everything online though I don't know about their international shipping...].

I am still looking for an online seller and it is also important to look for sellers that are breeding the plants in greenhouses and are not pilfering them from the wild.

I'll look out for sundews (I'm not entirely sure why, but I've always felt dubious about Venus Fly Traps. Perhaps because they tend to die). Thanks for the carnivorous plant tip.
