I went to www.flytrapfarm.com and bought some plants, they were very
interesting when I received them in the mail. I live in Virginia and I had never heard of these, they are so cool! Anyone have thoughts on these carnivorous plants? If anyone is going to buy any, use www.flytrapfarm.com , I got my plants in a couple of days! |

Anyone have thoughts on these carnivorous plants? Yes. I found the following on their website: http://www.flytrapfarm.com/article05feb06.pdf The article states: "People with collector's permits [gather] them for us," said office manager Audrey Sigmon. "They are [easily] found along highways, in the Green Swamp and nature trails." The state Department of Agriculture has placed traps on its list of plants of special concern, meaning that is illegal to harvest them from the wild without a permit and written permission of the landowner. Fly-Trap Farm strictly complies with state guidelines in its collection practices. The stocklist on the flytrapfarm website shows a fairly limited range of readily available carnivorous plants. I find anything I'd consider rare. Can you clarify flytrap farms collecting practices, given that the material being sold is so easily available and adaptable to in vitro propagation as to make legal wild collection, even for the stock material, unnecessary? |
