Chen Yi lists

[George R Stilwell, Jr.]

Bill,

Better still your heart by looking through the Arisaema-L archives on the
subject of Kaichen
Nursery. Jan Renfroe ran a massive combination order for AEG a while ago.
The results
were quite variable. One certainty is that very few things were what they
claimed to be.
Still, the material is often unique. Several nurseries are importing Chen
Yi's plants and
offering them at typical U.S. prices, hpoefully after properly
identifying them.

My own experience was not so good. Of the 39 plants I received, only two
plants
survivea little over a year later. Most didn't survive the winter arrival
in 1998.

Everyone reached their own conclusion, mine is that the local prices are
less expensive
than the net cost of what I finally have to show from 2 different Chinese
nursery orders.
On the other hand, it's an adventure.
