Peter has learned a lot in the years since the first edition was written
Peter has learned a lot in the years since the first edition was written, and he shares the information freely. I used to visit California Carnivores, back when they were behind the Mark West winery, Back then I could and did talk to Peter in person. Now I have the book of his information, almost as good.

Even though the book is more than ten years old, the information is still valuable.
Absolutely stunning, most amazing experience. Product exactly as described, packaged with extreme care. Came safely and ready for display or transfer into a new vessel.

Drosera capensis “Dark Maroon” Potted Jennifer
Absolutely PRISTINE packaging of my three D. Capensis! They are stunning! I am in LOVE! I couldnt wait to get my hands on them and you DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Thank you so much! I will be ordering again, especially because the sundews I ordered from another nursery came in such poor confition. 10/10 would recommend for all your carnivorous plant desires!
Beautiful, healthy, showstopper!
Received my “Last Site” a few weeks ago. I was very pleased how good the plant looked after being boxed for several days during shipment
It is planted in a fabric pot along my stream water garden & pond. It has adjusted beautifully and is already sending up new pitchers
