I got an order from easytogrowbulbs yesterday and I am not thrilled. I got the email that they were shipped last friday. I don't think it is a good idea to send a live plant shipment from across the country on a friday. Some of the order was bulbs, and those should be fine but the mandevilla and plumeria I ordered look half dead and their potting media was like dust it was so dry. PLus the mandevilla had black aphids all over it. I watered them and sprayed the mandevilla with an organic insect killer. I will hope for the best. I haven't decided wether to call about it. I usually just don't order from somewhere again if I am not happy. I agree Lazy S Farm is above average I was very pleased with the order I received from them last year. Every plant was very healthy and looked like I just bought them at the nursery. They all did very well. I will definitely order from there again.
Here is the sad mandevilla I got from easy to grow bulbs yesterday.
