Excellent condensed encyclopedia.
Catalogue, Encyclopedia and soon to be worn out reference book. This is the information one should have before making purchases to know the environmental needs of each plant for successful longevity. A wealth of knowledge with superb pictures to tweak one’s interest. It has helped me make better decisions of what species work for me in my locale. A “must have” to aid in the enjoyment of these unique plants.

Succinct. I feel confident in caring for my carnivorous plants (nepenthes & pinguicula) with the advice and instructions contained in The Savage Garden revised!

I received the plant today.And it is in prime condition It was packed well so no harm came to the plant. Best part it was easy to take off coverings so the plant was not destroyed by me trying to take off coverings
As with every order from California Carnivores, this plant was packaged professionally and arrived safe and sound. I've had is a few weeks now and it's growing new pitchers. I can see this one will be a stunner!
I appreciated all the info on California Carnivores’ website for taking care of and even unpacking my new carnivorous plants. This narrow leaf drosera arrived - as they said it might - without any dew. I followed the instructions, and now - a few weeks later - my drosera has dew, is looking healthy, and has new grow shooting up that might potentially be flowers. Very happy with my purchase.
