I think I needed a shoulder of another plant geek, to cry on .. I so wish I did live closer so I could be in plant heaven down there ! .. Betty (from F&H)is such a nice person .. but I just have that gut reaction that she will tell me to hold on they will come alive for me, so I don't want to go through that stress of complaining right now. If they don't recover I am sure I will get credit for them and I will try for something else.<br />YES ! you are SO doing the right thing by ordering rare beauties .. your fellow plant geeks down there are loving you to bits !! : )<br /><br />Eileen girl how true is that ! I really had that hit home about nothing being here now and resorting to mail order, when I walked a few places yesterday .. huge let down .. but I have faith in my order from Canning .. I have always gotten great plants from there .. gardens Plus is a new one to me so I have no idea but crossing my fingers a LOT ? LOL<br /><br />Jen this is an Ontario company and they are coming here quickly from the nursery so that shouldn't be the problem .. who ever is picking the plants to ship ? should not be doing that job ! LOL<br /><br />meems girl I know you are right .. I was just so wrapped up in trying to plant them to save them .. you know that gardener's instinct thing just took over ? But if they don't make it I am certainly letting that company know if they die!<br /><br />Cindee girl I am giving them the best try possible .. and I'll be watching them like a hawk ? haha<br />It is disappointing though .. but you have to weed out the companies that just aren't up to snuff right ? ;-)CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-88850341787921944212011-05-10T00:38:13.743-04:002011-05-10T00:38:13.743-04:00Sorry about your order.

I think if they are alive they will bounce back in a short time.

Are they starting out badly, and getting worse,[the plants that is, not the companies], or are they dying mid mail?<br /><br />Jen @ Muddy Boot DreamsRURAL https://www.blogger.com/profile/11871803235521431504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-22893150542870149652011-05-09T20:25:23.153-04:002011-05-09T20:25:23.153-04:00Joy, you are having a bummer with some of this mai...Joy, you are having a bummer with some of this mail order. I have to send an email to one of my favorite places to tell them none of their plants came back this spring. They are pretty good about replacing. You know the only reason we order is that we can't find these special plants anywhere else.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-62138814724808547602011-05-09T19:53:15.105-04:002011-05-09T19:53:15.105-04:00Joy:

Perhaps they do not do the shipping!<br /><br />They [your plants] are not even remotely in sellable condition which begs me to ask what the nursery stock is like. I was impressed with their selection [catalogue] this Spring, but witnessing your less than passable [not a six in my book unless there is a minus in front of it!] order, I think I shall steer clear! I am so sorry my friend. I know what you spent..... its not fair!<br /><br />As for selection at the nurseries, on one hand I am disappointed for you, even more so that you do not live closer, but on the other hand, you give me the confidence to continue ordering in the rare and unusual, as there are always fellow plant geeks like us looking for somehting new! Damn it, why do you live so far away!<br /><br />Chin up, its got to get better as the season progresses!Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734807639763465706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-47640797687841133702011-05-09T17:39:21.319-04:002011-05-09T17:39:21.319-04:00Darla girl it is so hard to find those special pla...Darla girl it is so hard to find those special plants now .. once you have most of your garden filled to the brim .. so mail order is the avenue to go, but this really wasn't up to par .. BIG sigh !<br /><br />Lona girl I so hope you are right and the scary plants will look less scary and more unscary as time goes by ?<br />Second BIG sigh !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-38609209340715059582011-05-09T17:02:45.203-04:002011-05-09T17:02:45.203-04:00Oops, now those look like they had a rough journey...Oops, now those look like they had a rough journey to your house Joy!
