I have ordered various things.
Lilium, Nomocharis, Dysosma, Gentiana, Anemone, Primula etc. etc.
I try to order early and beg for quick delivery. This is important becaus=e
most plants survive better if I can get them into the soil before it=
frezzes.
Usually she sends it well before Christmas and this helps me.

Plants that travel well - tubers bulbs fat Rhizomes - establish well if t=hey
survive my winter cold.
The later fate is a different matter. Some plants are killed by my very l=ow
winter temperatures in winter two and some by my mistakes.
Plants like Chinese Gentians, primulas and the like are more difficult -
partly my fault since I do not have a suitable greenhouse to nurse them o=ver
the winter..
Practically every plant looks well and healthy on arrival.
Naming is a problem. There is a high incidence of plants with wrong name.
This does not necessarily mean that I have received cheap stuff under an
expensive name. It also means that I have received. very rare plants unde=r a
cheap name if you understand me. 


George if you buy Cyps over the border, please do not advertise that in
places as public as this list.
