PERFECTION AGAIN!

In all my years of buying plants which must be shipped to me, never have I seen plants or shipping containers of this quality. My Rex Begonia plants were so well protected that you would never guess they had been on quite a journey to get to me. I can only sing the highest of praises! I most certainly will be a repeat customer!
