Well, I was told it's other nurseries period. I got in trouble for posting about a trip to California Carnivores and I posted about a dissapointing order from another nursery (none of the plants were also sold by PFT) and that post was deleted for "advertising" the other nursery.[b said:Quote[/b] (SarraceniaScott @ April 01 2005,4:44)]I could be mistaken, but I am under the impression that only applies if you're discussing a product they sell that PFT also sells.[b said:Quote[/b] (sarracenia @ April 01 2005,6:21)]i suppose this will get deleted anyways, since it talks about a "rival" company.
Brian...thank you for a civilized response. That being my first order with cc, I would have expected to actually see the trimmed off pitchers and/or growth points of a 3-year old sarr rhizome in the pot. Since patience is a virtue, I will just wait patiently to see if a dormant rhizome does sprout. My other sarracenia are already sending up gorgeous new pitchers and flowers. I appreciate your input.[b said:Quote[/b] (Brian_W @ April 01 2005,10:21)]LunaC ,
I recently received an order from cc (sarracenias and VFT) and had the same experience. Guess what---the sarracenia is dormant and the sundew just happens to be growing in the same pot (they grow everywhere if conditions are right). In fact, all my stuff from cc had all sorts of sundews growing in them. Do what I did--pot up the sundew and give the Sarracenia some time. Currently, my sarracenia are now sending up pitchers and all the sundews that came with them are also doing great.

Thanks Peter for your suggestion. The only reason I haven't dug around in the pot is because 1) the binata looks fragile and I don't want to disturb it any further, especially after shipping. And 2) I have lots of sarracenia and am familiar with dormant rhizomes/growth points, etc, and I don't see any at the soil surface. As I said, I will wait patiently and see what happens naturally[b said:Quote[/b] (peter @ April 01 2005,11:03)]LunaC, uncover some soil around the center of the pot, and you should see a dormant ribozome which looks kind of like wood, and at the tip the ends of cut pitchers, that is the dormant sarracenia and should grow pitchers for you shortly. Looks like you have a D. Binita, one of my favorite sundews!
Ah, Bugweed. Duh! With all due respect...yes, I have a mouth to talk with. Yes, I even know how to use a telephone (gasp!). Emails are not crap...emails are a quick, efficient means of communication that are also cost-efficient for all parties involved. Why should I bear the cost of a long-distance telephone call when I can send an email along with a photo? Isn't that the reason people/companies provide their email addresses at their websites?[b said:Quote[/b] (Bugweed @ April 01 2005,11:51)]E-mail?? Haven't you got a mouth to talk with? Do you know how to use a phone?? E-mails are crap. CALL THE MAN!!!!!!!! Talk to his partner Marilee, or talk to Peter himself if you got screwed. IS there a plant in the pot bedside the sundews? Did you unearth a rhizome or not? If not, then call, use your mouth to voice your concerns, and take it from there. You make yourself a victim if you are not willing to act. NEVER e-mail! ALWAYS talk to the people in charge. Now you know who to talk to, now dial a phone if you did indeed get screwed.
