What Our Customers Say

  • Photo of a thick green leaved dewy sundew and a green flytrap

    "A large plant, very well packed and arrived in great shape. It is very happy with the other drosera in the hot and wet Fla weather. This is true for all the plants that have arrived from California Carnivores."

    Scott

  • Close up of red colored venus flytrap

    "Wowie wowie wow. What a beautiful experience it was opening this plant. I knew she’d be stunning but I wasn’t expecting how beautiful she would actually be! Beautiful reds, contrasting green accents around the lips of the traps. Simply beautiful!"

    Nicholas

  • A close up of a white Sarracenia leucophylla pitcher with red venation in a backyard

    "Wonderfully packaged, and arrived with three completely intact pitchers. Everything I needed to know regarding care was easily accessible via this website and their Youtube channel. A quick grower; mine’s rhizome has quite possibly tripled in size since last fall when it was received! My first plant from Cal Carn, and many followed after due to my appreciation for their excellent methods and charming online personalities!"

    Ryan
