    delivery...

    When I received my order the box was on its side with the up arrow pointing directly at the FeEx driver. The box had obviously been on its side and upside down as all the plants were kind of mashed and out of their pots. Every plant had broken stems many leaves had fallen off but were in the bag. I planted what I had and to my suprise all plants have new growth and seem to be doing well. Several have new blooms. The plants must have been healthy to survive the shipment. The plants seem to be great but the shipping was terrible.

    very happy customer

    I bought 6 of these and was a little nervous ordering from a website that I had never heard of before. But the plant came after like 4 days, and were in phenomenal condition. Even coming from Fedex. I couldn't believe it. I don't have a good nursery near me, so its hard to find anything besides common plants that walmart carries. I'll definitely be ordering again in the near future!
