I recently purchased 3 plants – Ixora, Mandevilla and Adenium. Within days of purchase the plants started flowering. They are not only so beautiful and of good quality but even the plants you sent, look so well cared for. I do hope we are able to maintain them as well as you have. I also find your website highly informative and reader friendly. Your blogs are very helpful too! Thank you!
