About

My name is Devon Peterson and I am a sundew fanatic.


I started collecting carnivorous plants back around October 2013, and somehow now I'm vice president of the Bay Area Carnivorous Plant Society. Things happened sort of quickly. I like carnivores because they're almost like pets, except it's a somewhat less devastating if they get ill or die.

I started the blog because I haven't found very many active carnivorous plant blogs, and none that focus on sundews. Blogging also gives me something to do with my plants even when they don't need food or water or repotting or anything. If you're interested in more carnivorous plant blog action, I have a list on my links page.

I'm always happy to hear from someone who reads the blog, and will answer questions to the best of my ability (I am far from an expert, but I know a few places to look if I don't know the answer). Email me at sundews.etc@gmail.com.

  1. Very cool blog with some unconventional carnivores. We would very much like to see more Plant Profiles.

  4. Awesome blog! I got my eyes on a bunch of your seeds! How fast would you say you run out? I'm a little tight on money right now so I'd like to hold off for a while but its good to know that you have so many different kinds of drosera

    1. I will definitely have seeds available going forward. Sundews produce a lot of seed, and it stores very well.

      I also pretty much always have plants available for sale, though they're not listed on the blog since I'm not very consistent with my propagation hahahah. You can email me at sundews.etc@gmail.com if you're interested.

  7. Hi, I ordered two D.Burmannii seed packs on 1/11 [(50x) Humpty-doo and (50-100x) Hann river], and have not received any email as to tracking number or otherwise shipment. I have checked my junk folder. PayPal confirms my payment of $10 was processed on the 11th. Please advise.

    1. Hi Steve. Your seeds were mailed out last week. They are probably taking longer to reach you due to the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday. For seed orders I simply use a standard stamped envelope to save cost, so there is no tracking number. The seeds should arrive in the next day or two, but feel free to email me at sundews.etc@gmail.com if they don't arrive by the end of this week.
