Many thanks for such beautiful plants that arrived here on the morning of the third day after posting. They were all safe and sound and did not appear to be suffering from jet lag! Once again, many thanks for such lovely plants and an excellent service, I will most definitely be ordering again. WC, Shetland Islands 2005
