"Par o Bek's nepenthes are some of the
best I've ever received. They're always delivered
promptly and in great shape. I have yet to
lose one of Tony's nepenthes. Also, none
have ever gone into any stress or transplant
shock too. This is a tribute to how long
Tony takes care of his plants before allowing
the to be available for resale. Finally,
Tony also has one of the best selections
of nepenthes available anywhere for sale.
He regularly updates his inventory and has
the latest species and hybrids from many
distributors. Simply put; Best product, best
service, best prices, best selection! Awesome
job Tony!" - Joel
"Just about THE largest selection of
Nepenthes on the internet, for sure the largest
resale. He has sent me many cuttings/ bits
of sphagnum for free, and is definately number
ONE for customer service, answering all of
my questions. Updates regularly, great plants,
great packaging, great prices!! :D :) 8)
overall the best CP dealer out there!! He
is smart enough to wait a few months, not
weeks before putting plants recieved from
overseas on the pricelist. Keep up the great
work Tony!! :D :) 8) " - John
"Tony's plants are top quality. The
pitcher/leaf ratio is unequaled by any other
dealer I have seen and he will never send
anyone a plant that he has not grown for
a while and completely acclimated.
His shipping is also unequaled. He usually
gets it mailed the weekend after you pay(if
you use Paypal) so that it arrives on Monday.
The plants are packed carefully and superbly,
and you only pay 75 cents/plant after the
initial low rate. In otherwords your order
is not based on the retail of the plants.
Keep up the great job, Tony!

at excellent prices, and the best selection

shipping cost and speed. I'm a huge Par O
Bek fan! Yay Tony!" -Laurel

"I've ordered four nepenthes from Tony
and each time I get the plants I can't beleive
how great of condition they are in. The plants
I got were the healthiest nepenthes I have
ever got from a mail order situation. Even
though his nursery is on the other side of
the nation the plants always arrive in top
notch condition. I can't effectively exppress
how happy I am with the plants I buy from
Tony. From now on I think I'll always buy
my nepenethes from him.
Keep up the fantastic work tony,
Jess"
"After a devastating fire, in which
I lost most of my nepenthes collection, Tony
went out of his way to help me replace my
plants. He even helped me with paperwork
for my insurance claim! Most of the plants
he sent me were larger than the ones I had
lost! I can't thank Tony enough. I also want
to echo the compliments of the other testimonials.
The quality, price, selection, and service
are SUPERIOR!
For years of outstanding service,
Thank You Tony!

"I ordered from tony 3 times (so far)
Two nepenthes, some VFTs, and two cephalotus'
both of the nepenthes orders were shipped
out the very next day!, and the cephalotus',
and VFTs were the very next weekend, I still
cannot believe the quality of plants, awesome
shipping, and low prices, most of the plants
that come have actually 2-4 plants with them,
amazing! keep up the good work tony.

"Nothing but praise! The plants I ordered
were received in Two days by Priority mail.
The plants arrived in wonderful condition
and all were much larger than I had anticipated.
All the nepenthes had pitchers or forming
pitchers. I'll be ordering again. Friendly
and informative service by phone and email.
Sure hope I can keep them as nice looking
as you did Tony.. Thanks again.

"Exotic Plants Plus has an amazing selection
of Nepenthes! Second only (and this is still
a maybe) to Borneo Exotics themselves! Also,
they have the largest plants (excluding Borneo
Exotics) that i have seen for sale online.
I have just ordered from him online, and
i have maybe a week before i discover just
how good the service is. I hope it's as good
as they say online.
Keep up the good work!

"I made my first order last week not
knowing anything about Par o Beks. I have
bought many
nepenthes from sources all over the world.
They always came in so small they were in
cups.
Well let me tell you when I opened the box,
I had to put my eyes back in my head! These
are
the largest and healthiest plants ever shipped
to me. I will never order from anywhere else
again, no more small cups for me. : )

away exceded my expectations. I am *very
much* looking forward to doing business with
you in the future. Also, you are more than

"There is no question about it, Tony
loves Nepenthes. That fact is made clear
every time you open a box of plants from
him. I get the same feelings of excitement
that I felt as a child opening gifts on Christmas
when I dig through his box to see in person
what is now mine to grow. His plants are
always well packed and have little or no
trouble acclimating because he goes through
the effort of growing them out before he
sends them. They are almost always bigger
than what he has listed on his website and
always have pitchers on them. He responds
quickly to inquiries and is open to adding
plants not listed if he can get get them
from one of his suppliers. There is nothing
more you could ask for. NOTHING! He is the
Santa Clause of Nepenthes and bearer of the
Black truncata!

"The kind and helpful service I recieved
from Mr. Par O Bek was unprecedented by any
other CP business I have encountered. It
was truly a pleasure, and of course the quality
and size of plants were accurate to the websites
description, which is to say, absolutely
wonderful! I will continue to purchase Nepenthes
and assorted CP's for my personal and acedemic
collection through Mr. Par O Bek, and I recomend
his services to any one who wants beautiful
and healthy plants." - Ryan
"Tony:
My order arrived early this week and has
been planted. I wanted to tell you that I
was absolutely astounded at the excellent
size and quality of the plants I ordered.
The plants were great! You will be my first
choice in any future purchases as your quality
is unsurpassed.

"9 months ago, in augaust, i bought
a $600-$700 order. The plants i had recieved
were the best plants, even better than Sarracinea
NorthWests' plants, and sorry Peter, california
carnivores, i had ever seen or bought! No
shock what so ever, just a little decrease
in growing which was expected. You should
really see how much these healthy plants
have grown. My favorite out of them all,
Spectabilis (Lowii x ventricosa), was only
about 2 inches long, 6-7 inches in leaf length;
now its over 10 inches tall, with a leaf
span of 10 inches or greater. Out of the
30 or so plants i bought, only villosa has
kicked the bucket..(im still taking care
of it though! lol) Great competitive prices,
great customer service, you deserve more
green houses so you can grow us more!!hehe
Keep up the excellent work ;) MIchael S.

"The plant I got from you is amazing
very healthy and you even looked at my comment!
best of the best I dont think im ever going
to order from another nursury again!thanks
for the amaing plant I will be placing another
order shortly!"
"I ordered some nepenthes and a tuberous
sundew on August 30th and I received the
plants September 2nd. The shipping was quick
and Tony threw in a drosera macrophylla for
free! I am absolutely amazed by the quality
of the plants and the size. Thank you so
much!"
"This company is absoultely amazing!
I received a N. platychila a few days ago,
and it was a very healthy, well grown plant.
There was a pitcher on just about every leaf!
I have had this plant for 4 or 5 days now,
and everything is looking great. He has taken
the time to acclimate his plants very nicely,
and it seems to have accepted my conditions
readily. This is one of the best companies
I have ever done business with, and I encourage
others to order their plants from Mr. Par
O Bek. Needless to say, I am very pleased.
I look forward to doing business with him
in the future. Thanks Mr. Par O Bek!Chance,

"I just received my shipment from Tony
today. I only ordered one Nepenthes ventricosa
x glandulifera from him, which as far as
us hobbyists go, is not exactly breaking
the bank. However, this plant is amazing,
well established, and easily has more pitchers
on it than I have ever gotten on a new arrival
before. It was packaged extremely well, and
looks fantastically healthy. Not only that,
it was shipped just hours after I submitted
the order and arrived barely three days after
payment. This is perhaps the shortest wait
I've ever experienced when ordering carnivorous
plants considering I live almost as far away
from Tony as you can get in the U.S. This
Nepenthes is so healthy, I don't even feel
stressed about potting it right away, it
looks perfectly fine in the bag it came in.
Overall, I am 100% pleased with my business
experience with Tony. I should really pace
myself on purchasing more Nepenthes, but
if I do in the near future, it will definitely
be from Tony. He's fast, efficient, the plant
is healthy, strong, impressive, and that's
more than I can say about 90% of the places
I've ordered Nepenthes from. Thanks Tony!-Peter

"Just received my nepenthes today. I
absolutely love the condition the plant was
in, as wellas the method it was shipped.
I really did not think Priority Mail would
be a reliable wayto ship, but I stand corrected.
Tony, thank you for everything and I am already
looking intoanother plant for the near future.I
also appreciate your patience and advice
in leading me in a good direction.roy xxxxxxx

"Not only does Tony have some of the
best selection out there for Nepenthes, the
quality is also very high. I've received
a bunch of orders from him and haven't been
disappointed yet. Highly recommended!"
"I just wanted to say thank you for
sending some wonderful Nepenthes. I am always
WOWED by your plants. Thanks for the super
fast shipping and great packaging. I always
receive your plants in perfect condition,
even in the middle of winter. Have a very
Wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year.Thanks
again,Rena "
"I am amazed at the speed and quality
of service Tony provides not to mention the
stunning plants he ships. I rarely and hesitantly
purchase from new nurseries but my order
arrived in pristine condition. Don't think
twice about buying from Tony! Thank you Tony,
I'll be back! -- Yann"
