Thanks for the pics Newcomms.
Looking at your pictures though reminds me of something I should have mentioned, for example the plant that looks a lot like an S. purpurea ssp venosa, it is unlikely to be a pure clone but a plant very close to the parent but where there is doubt it should still be refered to simply as a hybrid or plant-u-like.
So to all, No matter how much a plant looks like something well it will not be other than a hybrid, an S. flava, an S.  leucophylla or an S. excellens for example.
Ian.

Thanks Ian, yes it does a lot.
I looked at mine and saw that some were almost all over purple and others were green with purple veins, so I got to thinking what a catesbaei should look like, and that is where I floundered in the googling ;)

[humour]Perhaps I'll select the prettiest and call it S. ianii ssp malcolmii   [/humour]

Do a Google search for cpphotofinder. You'll find photographs of all known species and most registered hybrids there.

All the plants have started to grow new traps, except for some of the dionaea.
It seems thet had it pretty rough during the travel,
some have lost almost all their traps/leaves (I know them as being pretty though, so they may still make is, hopefully!)

The VFT don't usually complain that much, they should however get over it though.

I want to say big-massive-huge thank you as well :) I've received sooo many plants (about 30) a couple of days ago that I had to go to the garden centre to buy more pots!

Thank you again!

Thanks you two!
I'm working on making a post, but waiting for mum to send the pictures to my account on the computer.

Got all the Excellens in one greenhouse........ they look lonely.
Time for some more now to fill up the rest of my mums GH now.
