What plants do you want to see FlyTrapShop sell?

[Wolfn]

Personally, I want to see FlyTrapShop sell a wider variety of Pinguicula. Andy, any word on when there will be more?

[Adam]

Id like to see some harder to find sarr hybrids, like flies demise, boob tube, and judathip soper

[Jimmy]

Lol. While it is mainly restricted to what Agri-Starts has to offer, I wouldn't get my hopes up too much. But I'd definitely like to see the Nepenthes selection increased! :p

[Frilleon]

I second the larger Nep selection!

[Capensis]

I thought Andy DID get new plants, just hasn´t added them yet or is waiting to produce more. o.o

[cp-connection]

Big colorful sarracenia. Woooot!

[theyellowdart]

Big colorful sarracenia. Woooot!
Wooooot!

[petmantis]

Big colorful sarracenia. Woooot!


Wooooot!

And I'd like to third that Woooooot! but it won't make a difference since i'm in canada ;)

[theyellowdart]

And I'd like to third that Woooooot! but it won't make a difference since i'm in canada ;)

Woooooot! eh?

[DrWurm]

N. edwardsiana

Jason

[PeaceCarny]

I'd like to see more unique sundews in the selection :D

Maybe some South American varieties?

[F R e N c H 3 z]

Sounds like the overall tone is more of everything
But Sarrs and and Neps would be a big + :)

[Wolfn]

I just noticed that FlyTrapShop doesn't sell any Utricularia or Genlisea.

[maneatingmoo]

Some more neps would be great to see.

[dashman]

In addition to plants, I would like to see expert approved insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers, etc if possible.

There are a lot of products out there and it makes it hard for a beginner to intermediate to choose the right one. The active ingredients are usually the same, but it is the inactive ingredients that can kill CPs it seems.

[twigs]

I agree with Dashman. Insecticides/fungicides and fertilizers with suggestions on use (especially fertilizer... like "1/10 strength for xxx species))

[Aslan]

More Sarr cultivars, not nessecarily AS, but some interestinger ones. Oh, and some Triphiophyllum might be good too if you could find it. :)

[carnivoure12]

Sorry to dissapoint you but Triphophyllum is not in cultivation.

[Clue]

Nepenthes clipeata, Roridula, Nepenthes edwardsiana...

Basically anything impossible to get. :D

[philcula]

Sorry to dissapoint you but Triphophyllum is not in cultivation.
It most certainly is.

[Clue]

I believe that there's one at Bonn.

They just aren't available to most people.

[CPBlake]

I want to see a consistently stocked, reasonably sized and priced cephs.

[Ant]

some more revealing pics? I look at a lot of the sarr pics and they really give the wrong impresion. (at least to me, especially the S. purp x flava. [I can't spell that name!])

[adnedarn]

More revealing? You want the plants more naked? This is a family site! :-)) How does the catesbaei "give the wrong impression"?

Blake- you're silly dude :-P

[Chunkyhunks]

Heliamphora! Although, those might be a bit difficult to grow in those parts. ^^;

[Ant]

It just doesn't show how you would actually see it. It looks thinner. I like full pitcher pictures.

[adnedarn]

Did you click into the detail of the item? There is a full plant photo there on that one... I mostly show just the tops though, since I feel that really does give the main gist of the plant. And if I had full plant pictures of 2 ft tall plants, you really wouldn't be able to see the plant in the photo since it'd just be a tall thin thing in a small photo.

[F R e N c H 3 z]

I want to see more free plants listed. Like if I add 15 Sarrs to my cart, Andy just ships them to me for free, no shipping or anything.

[DrWurm]

I want to see more free plants listed.

Definitely. Andy, your customers have spoken, we want free plants.

Jason

[theyellowdart]

It just doesn't show how you would actually see it. It looks thinner. I like full pitcher pictures.

I think Andy's picture is great. It's a good representative of what a typical catesbaei looks like.

Plus, catesbaei pitchers are never really "full" anyways. They're always a little thin towards the bottom with more girth towards the top.

[Ant]

Then I need to take another look. btw, I know what catesbaei looks like, but when I saw just the top I just thought it was just another regular sarr.

[twigs]

What about some more Dionea cultivars. Flytrapshop only has the 3 most basic ones. I would like to see at least some of the more common yet interesting cultivars: B52, Fused Tooth, Red Piranha, Cupped Trap, Royal Red, Big Mouth, Sawtooth, etc...

Now if you really wanted to tickle my fancy, you could get some of the very rare cultivars that are impossible to find in the US like Clumping Cultivar and Dracula, but I won't get my hopes up.

[mcantrell]

B52 would be nice to see in the store, as would "Gold Strike". I have a spare B52 to donate / trade to the cause, too. ;) (I'd have a Gold Strike to donate but my cutting didn't make it.)

Andy used to sell P. gigantea but doesn't anymore. (Old store URL for it) (http://www.flytrapshop.com/servlet/the-37/Pinguicula-gigantea-carnivorous-plant/Detail) Which is a shame, as I'm going nuts trying to find it. ;) Ditto with a virus-free P. x 'Titan' -- I fear the one I picked up is either in shock or infected.

Haven't been able to find S. psittacina, that might be one to look at getting. The store's also missing Utricularias. U. longifolia and U. sandersonii would be an interesting addition, and it's not like they're that hard to propagate. ;)

[Mr. Truncata]

I'd like to see truncata and maxima on the list. Maybe even stenophylla and eymae. So far both are pretty heat tolerant. Worth a try to raise those in Arizona.
On another note it looks like Andy has refreshed the online store.

[Mikey3288]

Definitely would like to see some B52's for sale! Also a steady supply of Cephalotus, although they are rather hard to get.

I think the biggest thing would be to upgrade the Nep selection, keep to the easy plants but broaden it significantly.

[Chomp]

I'd like it if pots of all sizes were sold there.

[Wolfn]

Cephalotus by any chance?

[Chomp]

I'm not sure if anyone's said this, but I'd REALLY like it if "cupped trap" was sold.

[marvin1997]

Sell the plants internationally!!!!That's what I want = )

[Halt]

If you guys haven't noticed, there is N. ventrata.

[Brokken]

Does Andy grow his own stock? If so a lot of the rare cultivars are rare because they are difficult to propagate and aren't fast growers. It may seem like it's very obvious, but a very true statement. They may not appeal to a large number of specialized growers too but the regular joes are not going to care about rare and difficult cultivar. Not too many people are willing to plop $40 on a D. graomogolensis when they can get a capensis for a few dollars.

[adnedarn]

If you guys haven't noticed, there is N.ventrata.


Haha! Good eye! I basically added them when I put the Miranda on ebay. It actually tossed me for a loop when I went out today to pack orders and imidiately went for the N. ventricosa and about half way through untangling one out of the tray I realized it was the newly added N. ventrata that had been ordered- funny stuff!




Does Andy grow his own stock?

A lot of the stuff I have up for sale is either stuff I have propagated, or have picked up from other hobbiests (Sarrs). The N. ventrata are some cuttings I took back in Dec. Good looking plants IMO :)

I get what I can in TC obviously, but it's not too easy to be a little guy trying to get stuff when all the bigger places that buy more get first picks on new stock. I just don't sell enough/buy enough to get priority on ordering. And then there is the fact that AZ is very picky about me bringing in stock! I even have to get a phyto and have all the plants sprayed for bugs when they are just coming in from Florida! ...that's added cost and trouble for me. For those that don't know I moved about 3 months ago, so I had to set up a new quarantine greenhouse so I can order this stuff in (yes, phyto, and chem application, and quarantine while the state checks them out) I got it approved on Wed, and I'm getting an update on some stock from a supplier on Monday. Hopefully they'll have some good news for me! :D

Andrew

[CPBlake]

The N. ventrata are some cuttings I took back in Dec. Good looking plants IMO :)


Andrew

I received one of his N. ventrata and I think its great. I have had it for 6 weeks and its sent out two new pitchers and noticeably increased its crown size.

I would like to see Andrew sell S. flava var rubricorpa, starts from his personal N raff, queensland sundew.

[adnedarn]

The other N. raff I sent you wasn't good enough? heh

[amphirion]

Not too many people are willing to plop $40 on a D. graomogolensis when they can get a capensis for a few dollars.


Hahaha....I would for the D. graomo. I am so itching to find one to buy now. I think it would be great if there were an evenly distributed selection for both the novice and for advanced. Too many online CP shops sell staple material which isn't bad, but it's almost like when you see one online shop, you've seen them all. Selling certain rare plants will be a guaranteed seller, especially if you'd be the only one who happened to sell them at the time!

personally I'd love to see more from the Drosera section in particular the petiolaris complex and the larger rosetted sundews (s. america and africa). a larger mexican ping selection would be great too.

I jumped off the CP bandwagon 4 years ago, and got back on a few months ago. in the process, I missed my window period to purchase a N. aristolochioides; would love the opportunity to buy this plant when it comes back on the market.

[blokeman]

I was just curious, as I was going through your sarrs, and well, you have both s. wrigleyana and 'scarlet belle'.
Is there any actual difference between the two, or is one a natural hybrid, and the other man made? Or the last thing I could think of would be one has the psittacina as 'mother' and the other has the leuco as 'mother'... I'm curious to know the difference.

[F R e N c H 3 z]

S. wrigleyana and S. 'Scarlet Belle'.
Or the last thing I could think of would be one has the psittacina as 'mother' and the other has the leuco as 'mother'... I'm curious to know the difference.

Yup you're right.
S. 'Scarlet Belle' the leuco is the mother plant while S. wrigleyana has a psittacina mother.

[amphirion]

wait what? This is already a tangent, but since it was brought up here i'd like some clarification.

i thought S. 'Scarlet Belle' is a hybrid cultivator. i thought S. x wrigleyana was a S. x wrigleyana regardless of whichever plant plays 'mother'. Just as the offspring will exhibit different degrees of each parent, S. 'Scarlet Belle' was given it's name because it holds a certain distinction from its siblings.

In point: i thought all S. 'Scarlet Belles' are S. x wrigleyanas but not all S. x wrigleyanas are S. 'Scarlet Belles'

[seedjar]

I believe you've got it right, amp. S. x wrigleyana is a cross between a leucophylla and a psittacina. 'Scarlet Belle' is a cultivar, which happens to be a wrigleyana.
I think... at least among Sarracenia... that the Latin names for hybrids apply regardless of which species was the mother and which was the father. But I also kind of think that there are other genera where that isn't true. What's with all the taxa questions lately?
http://www.sarracenia.com/faq/faq5547.html
~Joe

PS - I want Andrew to sell that plant I saw in Little Shop of Horrors. Get going on some leaf pullings!

[F R e N c H 3 z]

Yes you are right, I should have clarified that wrigleyana is not a registered cultivar, I believe it's a grex. In order to qualify as a wrigleyana the mother has to be psittacina . Scarlet Belle is a registered cultivar and cannot be propagated other than through divisions.

Does Scarlet Belle qualify as a wrigleyana though? I thought it had to have a psittacnia mother? Maybe I've just had it wrong the whole time :X

[Wolfn]

I'm looking for a Pinguicula gypsicola. When will FlyTrapShop start selling these?

[adnedarn]

I'm sorry but I do not know the whole S. wrigleyana and S. 'Scarlet Belle' thing... May make a good post down in the Sarr forum- mayhaps I'll move those posts down to a new topic.

Wolfn, I have a few but can't say I've ever honestly tried to produce them. Mainly because I've heard too many horror stories of them not shipping well.

Andrew

[Wolfn]

Maybe you could ship them when they are in their dry succulent stage?

It's just that I'm looking everywhere for them and I can't find them anywhere.

Edit: Also, wouldn't it be easy to reproduce them? With all those succulent leaves, I'm sure you could use some for cuttings.

[Wolfn]

I need a Pinguicula caerulea. Will FlyTrapShop sell these by any chance? I can't find them for sale anywhere.

Never tried... Because of the shipping issue. Hate to work on propagating a bunch of plants to just kill the majority of them in the mail. But perhaps I'll give it a go. They are now in their succulent form so now is the time.

Pretty sure I don't have that one... I did at one point but I can't recall it lately in my head.

[dashman]

Drosera regia please...

[Wolfn]

Drosera regia please...


Preferably Drosera regia 'Big Easy'

[adnedarn]

I wish I still had D. regia (either clone!) still. :( I've been thinking of going on the hunt....

[dashman]

Me too. I gave alot of my Drosera away to a conservatory due to space.. and well, them asking me for some. But I would make space for a D. regia.

[Baylorguy]

Actually, I would love to see more temperate plants. Maybe some Drosera and Pinguicula. BUT you already have an awesome selection. Can't wait to order more plants in the spring lol

[mass]

Cephalotus follicularis

[alex2751]

Cephalotus follicularis with reasonable price

[Baylorguy]

I think "reasonable price" can be interpreted different ways. Basic law of supply and demand... unless you find someone who is willing to trade a ceph, because of their limited availability they are not going to priced like sarrs or drosera.

[alex2751]

I meant that price for a small one of $35 is reasonable but some people ask for more than that.

[mass]

$35 - $45 is very reasonable for me.. I'd scoop one or two up at that price.

[Exo]

I would like to see more Nepenthes for sale, and maybe even more Mexican pings. :poke:

[Ngantnier]

I second Exo, more neps!

[adnedarn]

As requited in this topic, Pinguicula gypsicola propagations were attempted and most were successful. And since my plants are turning back to carnivorous mode, I went ahead and took some more leaves for propagation yesterday. Hopefully they keep going and your wishes on this plants availability should be granted.

Yay!!! When you put them up for sale, I will definitely buy one

[Jag]

I would like to see if you could sell some B52 flytraps. I can never seem to get a hold of one.

[Chris_Himself]

N. "Dragon" cultivars (hard to find, would sell first born for one)
N. Spectibilis
N. Truncata Pasian
N. Truncata KoSxQoH
N. Viking
N. Khasiana (You could probably propagate an army of these guys in a year)
N Macfarlenei
N. Densiflora (EASY TO GROW VILLOSA LOOKALIKE)
MaxSea or comparable fertilizers, ending the massive feeding threads once and for all
Pots w/ matching saucers (i have water stains everwhere in my house)
S. x Cobra Nest (Sarracenia for dummies)
S. Rubra ssp. Rubra and S. Rubra ssp. Jonesii (Best sarracenia ever)
More Flava cultivars please!

[BigBella]

More Dionaea varieties, cultivars, what-have-you, may be a good idea. They always seem popular . . .

[kgrudz]

i think helis and cephs would be extremely popular. if u could TC helis or buy them in bulk, i think it would be very popular because not many other sites have them. people are always looking for a place to find them and it would defiantly be a positive to have. IMHO

[Sig]

I'm not a member of ICPS though I know they have a system like this, but what about a seed bank? As in you classify the rarity and costs of seeds on a scale of one to ten, and people can send you seeds. Say they send you a rare sarracenia variety that rates an "eight". They would get a certain number of points less than that, say four points, which they can use to buy four sets of D. capensis seeds, rated at a "one". This way it's like buying the seeds at half the price you'd sell to a consumer, only you're not actually paying money.

Basically, members can give you seeds and get 1/2 their worth in credit to get other seeds they want, and since it's not exact you can sell the excess. Everyone wins!

In theory, anyway, there are all these nitpicky details. I'd participate!

[lizasaur]

I second everyone's ideas! ^^'
But my personal ideas would be:
More flytraps! I mean, it's called the flytrapshop afterall ;) On the verge of sounding selfish, Gold Strike would be a sweet addition.
More Sarracenia, Sundews, and Butterworts!!!
Good priced Cephs and Helis would also be so appreciated.
And don't forget the grand Cobra Lily! Preferably the Mountain variety.
I also agree on the fertilizers, pesticides, etc bit.
Oh, oh! Trays, Humidity Domes, and budget-friendly Mini-Greenhouses!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
Larger volumes of media for a slightly discounted price (as compared to say, buying 8 1-gallon bags)

And for the site itself, I think it'd be much more neater/cleaner/user-friendly to have one block for a particular plant with the option to buy it either bare root or potted, instead of having separate listings for the plant potted and bareroot. I do have a particular site in mind that already does this and I'd like to show it, but I don't want to break any rules.

I am done :D

[limeslide]

I'd like to see more Drosera, and Utrics~

[Sig]

I basically want to see seeds. I like growing things from seed much more than the live plant, even if it takes a while. There aren't seeds on flytrapshop, which makes me sad.

[agamadragon]

i would love to see some pygmys and gemmae in the store inclouding some seeds from neps, sarrs, vfts, pings, droseras and other cp plants :-O

[Sig]

When will neps be in stock? I want to get a starter one but they're all out of stock...

[adnedarn]

I know there are some in stock, and a couple not. Please PM me which you were looking for.
Andrew

[Chris_Himself]

He ships truly epic specimens that grow as if they haven't left the greenhouse for a day. I wanted a Raff when I was ordering but I noticed he didn't have one available. If only I knew to PM him.

[Clue]

I want to see some Utrics! They should be easy enough to propagate.

U. warburgii would be a very pleasant one. ;)

[Timmy]

and U. Pubescens!!

[IronTom]

How about some Dionaea "Red Piranha" or "Red Sawtooth" ?

[naich]

just more nepenthes like Raja or simpler highlanders/intermidiants....(truncata's)

[Josh Gertz]

Id like to get a D. regia and a S. "Jonesii" if possible.

Id also like to vote for the idea of having a place to find appropriate fungicides and other "hardware" for growing plants. Ive had to make numerous trips to different stores to find different soils, fungicides, pots, lights, etc.

[kulamauiman]

S. purpurea venosa, please

MTF

[Rball]

maybe offer a section just for seeds of all species

[Dexenthes]

Darlingtonia, Cephalotus, more Drosera!

More Pinguicula!

More more more!

[HeliGoddess]

Heliamphora and more Nepenthes species!!!!!! :)

[eou812]

More Nepenthes and Darlingtonia and Cephalotus.

[thez_yo]

How about some pygmy dew gemmae? And a little ol Cephalotus follicularis Dudley Watts... :lol:

[TheFury]

I would love to see some more Nepenthes hybrids. As a Nep n00b, I think there's a huge market for Neps with ornate pitchers that aren't too picky about conditions or abuse. Things with N. maxima or N. ventricosa in the parentage. I'm thinking N. spectabilis x aristolochioides, N. ventricosa x spectabilis, etc.

[thez_yo]

Round or square (though I prefer round at these sizes) 4", 5", 6", and 8" pots. My plants are all up to 4"-8" pots right now.

[Physalaemus]

I would like to second several people's suggestions and add my own:
- a dedicated and well stocked seed and gemmae section
- genlisea and utricularia starters
- live sphagnum (when possible)
- quality square pots in cp friendly sizes (including net pots!)
- non-draining seed trays

Yeah... me gusta. I order most of my supplies online from three or four different sources. It would be nice to have a one-stop shop for plants and supplies.

[D_muscipula]

Since we can't post plants for trade that flytrapshop sells, it's bittersweet when
flytrapshop adds something else to their online inventory.
Especially if it's a nepenthes, I don't care about dews and pings as much

This being said, I think flytrapshop should sell Ultricularia :D
I hardly trade for those!

[sss]

Althought I personally don't think I need anything for the rest of the season here are some ideas. I feel your shop seems to like having cheap prices so I don't expect you to go out and get really rare nepenthes or anything like this, so I'm only suggesting common stuff.

I think the sarracenia selection is pretty good.

Sundews I think adding some Binata's or Filiformis or both would be good, just to get different varieties.

Flytraps are missing the typical variation but I guess you can find that anywhere even in local stores so doesn't really matter to much.

It would be nice to get some cheaper butterwarts, like pinguicula moranensis or pinguicula primuliflora.

Nepenthes is fine, maybe san guinea or ventricosa.

[adnedarn]

sss you pretty much nailed what my store is at this point. I do get different pings available when I have some, but once they sell I gotta wait till I produce more. I agree with more dews, I have burmannii and such I really need to get added. I have some binata and it would be easy to propagate them, I jsut haven't. Some other things you mention I have, just not listed because I'm not happy with how they look (typ vft, ventricosa)
andrew

[LeafKirby]

I suggest you sell waterwheels, they look even more exotic to CP growers.

[adnedarn]

As in Aldrovanda? I've tried growing them a few times and failed each time.. It's a plant I'd LOVE to have.
Andrew

[limeslide]

lidless sarrs!

[Wire Man]

I'd love to see more of the tropical stuff, more utrics, a lot more sundews, etc.

[w03]

Some more highland neps, tropical/tuberous dews, and utrics would be nice.

Also, seeds for stuff like byblis and drosophyllum would be great!

[jpappy789]

Would like to see more than just the typical dews and pings!

[Copper]

[adnedarn]

The P. gypsicola I've been working on for over a year for you guys are ready I think.... feel free to PM me with a suggested sell price, because I fail at finding them ANYWHERE to get a reference!! Those who PM me a suggestion will be alerted first when they're added no matter if I use your price or not. But please be fair for both of us. ;)
Thanks,

[Shortbus]

More pings and dews for me......also I would love it if there were maybe a "starts" size for those who dont mind waiting on a mature plant and want to save a few bucks and shorten the duration on your propagating tables.
Someone also touched on an area very important to me already, but I will mention it again: Greenhouse/terrarium supplies (small scale for indoor applications). I will be adding at liest a couple more small greenhouses to my assemblage before the year is out. Humidifiers, lighting, fans and other "small space appropriate" supplies will be on my shopping list.

[B0B]

more neps plz

[tje25]

More dionaea variations

Ditto!!;)

[sarracenia_X]

perhaps plant sets/ collections that are cheaper than if you were to buy the plants separately. also, mabey a minibog kit with a little pot, soil, and some plants and stuff, like this

[sarracenia_X]

i caught that like just in time!! anyways, what about a seed kit? like a better quality version of those "CARNIVOROUS CREATIONS" kits that tend not to grow because of bad quality, old seeds. the kit would like come with some sarr, dew, and vft seeds, peat, and a little tray to start them in! you could always just ship some seeds packaged with those "Jiffy windowsill greenhouse" things, wich come with peat pellets. i dont THINK they put ferts. in those, but i dont know for sure.

[chibae]

Okay..late to the party as usual but here is my sugesstion. Do a "pre-order" for the neps that some members are already doing their own group orders for. Publish the list of what neps and sizes will be avalaible. Peeps who want in must chose and pay you in advance. I would be happy to pay up to twice the advertised list price from say AW in order to have someone else handle the ordering and the acclimating of the plants for six weeks or so before I receive them. Profit for you as the broker, better acclimated plant for me, and my nep dollars stay closer to home (at least some of them).

[asid61]

How about some more flytrap variations, until we have about 10. Then some more sundews, and then some nepenthes, and finally some butterworts, cephs, and helis.
Maybe you could buy from the people on this forum. The grow lists are expansive.

[Pineapple]

When you get more Nepenthes in stock, I plan to get me a thank you membership. :)

[Not a Number]

Not a plant but maybe people would want T-shirts or Sweat-shirts. Would come in handy at the ICPS conference.

[cpbobby]

hmmmm.......for nepenthes; perhaps an announcement when you plant to place another order then customers can prepay for say a waiting list option or maybe even place a special orders?

Not sure what your margins are but perhaps bulk discount/starter collection: I have seen it done before where some places offer "starter collections" of so many plants for a discount but they get to choose; how about a split? say 10 nepenthes for $200 or whatever number you feel comfortable with but have a split where the customer can select up to half of the price worth and you select the other half. That way both the vendor and the customer can feel they have a value for their purchase.

who wants to plunk down change for a collection and get nothing they really wanted? It helps the customer bc they are guaranteed to be happy in getting some of what they want and for the things they received they didn't want they could apply the value of their purchase by trading for what they do want. It helps the vendor bc they get a chance to liquidate overstock and of course make money.

I vote for more nep varieties also.

[Hamata-Honzo]

nepenthes hamata 'hairy red' form!!!!!!!

[cpbobby]

oh, I don't know of anywhere that has a nepenthes mirabilis merah/indonesian red.....i want one of those :)

[Kayota]

If you ever get Dionaea "Typical" in stock I'll probably snap up a few. You have "Dentate" and "Akai Ryu" but no typical :-( I also like Dionaea "Wacky Trap" and in particular "Fused Tooth" as well as those varieties which stay a yellow green and never really color up such as "Justina Davis". I'm also interested in "B52" and some of those other larger varieties... And some other varieties of Sarracenia flava. Can you tell I'm a VFT junkie? LOL

[Gigantea]

Maybe some of the varieties that are hard to find outside the Us- there are quite a few drosera, flytraps and pitchers this applies to. I'm not into pitchers much yet, although I did order a Dixie lace elsewhere that I was never shipped. :( Personally, I would pay a good amount for a D. x Obovata or Ceph Giant.

[Plant Planter]

I'd like to see some other cultivars of flytraps and some new Drosera.


How about some more flytrap variations, until we have about 10. Then some more sundews, and then some nepenthes, and finally some butterworts, cephs, and helis.
Maybe you could buy from the people on this forum. The grow lists are expansive.

You sure are right; some grow lists are INSANELY long! Maybe flytrapshop.com could get some stuff from them. I know that I"LL have some seeds soon. :D

[utricularia]

Not a plant but maybe people would want T-shirts or Sweat-shirts. Would come in handy at the ICPS conference.

Good call, and don't forget about those of us who are trying to indoctrinate our kids. Children's sized shirts would sure help.

[Maiden]

More heliamphoras !!! (and update shipping to canada) :)

[davidgreen]

more cool sarracenia!!!

I actually do buy from people who have extras when they are willing to sell at wholesale prices ;) There are even some people who forward things to me just because they are thankful for this place- My members ROCK! :D

I have recently finished transplanting/dividing all of my Sarrs and so that update should be coming after I manage to get a new count! (No I don't know when that will be- my real job is keeping me super busy. :-\ )

Looking forward to those updates :).

Plants I would like to see would be S. "Leah Wilkerson", although I doubt that's going to happen ;)

Also maybe S. Rosea

Dude.. How about a TF owned and operated CPebay. List your plants for auction here. And just like the regular eBay, TF gets a percentage of all finalized auctions?

Me likes that idea and so do I (haven't asked myself yet though). .I'm always afraid to put a plant on ebay, what if some idiot kills it then claims snad and returns a rotted out stump. At least here I'd feel safer.

[Sundrew]

I think it works as long as Andy gets a cut. Could be hard to manage though.

I kinda feel like he only uses the shop to support the forum costs, if he wanted to make some extra money he probably could do the ebay thing, but tbh I would rather buy from here anyway, and Andy doesn't get hit with two fees this way either.

[adnedarn]

I've looked into having a listing section before... But in order for it to be self working for the most part- there would be fees that I don't think people would want to mess with. Like ~3% payment processing, the something for successful sale fee and or listing fees to make it worth me to go against my store... I figured all that would probably be more than people would be interested in paying.

[orlenz]

More flytrap and drosera varieties, I have looked at the shop several times, but there is nothing I want there, just the basics.

[Millipede]

i think people would be willing to pay fees. especially for rare or just really nice specimens it would be worth it
