Mail Order "A Lottery"? number 2
Hi all
I have just received the pictured hardy Gerberas, 3 different varieties in the same parcel.
3 different quality plants the small
one was crushed against the others and they were all taped up so tightly it damaged leaves and stems.
I have sent said photo's to supplier .

They look ok. to me.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
They're plugs aym - what size did you expect?
Roy's plants look alright to me too punkdoc ...... they look healthy and will be away in no time.
Life's really too short ............
I paid £19.99
Two plants were o.k but badly wrapped the third as you can see is a runt, compared to the other 2.

Amy how did you get a photo that small, I can't enlarge it either, what are those plugs.
those top ones look lovely, I would be well pleased with those.
i bought, yes folks, bought! trailing begonia plugs from Wyvale this year, half inch tall, they doubled in a week, 5.99 for 20, the reason I didn't buy on line was because they weren't dispatching quick enough. I got mine on the 7th March so plenty of time to grow on.
I'm presuming you were happy with the price because they're winter hardy Roy? Why consider the smaller one a runt? If it had been on its own would you have felt the same?
Perhaps I'm just too easily pleased .......

I certainly wouldn't have paid £6.50p for the small one on it's own let alone if it was next to the others.
I have also sent thank you's to firms whose plants were excellent (secret garden is one firm).
