I was excited to receive two Nepenthes in the mail today. They are quite petite, but I still love them.
N. tentaculata and N. glabrata, respectively:

I was plenty satisfied already, but I had planned to visit a local nursery in search of a pure source of perlite and peat moss. While I was there I took a look around and was surprised to find some nice little pots of cape sundews for only $7. I counted up the plants and there seem to be at least 9 separate growth points in mine. It's practically overflowing the pot! An awesome find, and it feels so good not to have to pay shipping for once. I even managed to get it home with the dew intact

Truly, it's been a great day for plants.
