i was wondering what everybody vfts look like when they get it from stores
cuz i heard they're usually half dead
i just wanna compare them to mines
 
They're not always in bad condition. Just depends how soon you visit Home Depot ot Lowes, following their shipment. The ones I bought 3 years ago looked great and then looked even better after a couple months of growth. After dormancy, though, their redmess was replaced by pink.

what is that? that doesnt look like a venus flytrap to me
btw, where can u get pitcher plants?
 
Granted, the S. purpurea was the featured plant in the picture, but the plant in the purple pipette container is a VFT, after a dormancy, ~10 months after purchase from Home Depot. The pitcher plant came from Lowes.

The one's I got from a local garden center (little shop of horrors plants) were in really good shape and are doing great right now like this one:

This one is a Lowes buy, now in it's own 8 inch pot:

Here are a couple of VFTs that I just bought at my local Orchard Supply Hardware (click to open larger 140kb images):



Both were in good shape, and seem to be doing well so far.
