I bought some CP from Lee's in person last spring on a visit to central
Florida. His plants seemed healthy and well-cared for. (I purchased C.
follicularis, U. calycifida, H. minor, and a couple others, I think.) The
Utric hunks were pretty small, but his prices seemed good. He doesn't pot
anything up before he ships (pretty common practice,with the exception of
California Carnivores, I'm told), so expect some damage, particularly to the
delicate sundews. All should survive the trauma, he says.
Hate to open (another) can of worms, but I do know that at least some of his
locally-available (read Florida) plants, particularly D. capillaris, are
field-collected.
(His D. capillaris come from a site frequented by ATVs, however, so I'd bet
he does less damage overall.)
Hope this helps,
