More Persian Shields

Towards the end of last month, I purchased a Persian Shield plant from a nursery online. It looked okay when I received it, but for some reason, I wanted a couple more. I have been at my local nurseries, and have had no luck in finding it. I had asked the employees even if they could order it for me. They would not. So, I decided to get a couple more. At the very least - so that I could stop obsessively hunting them locally.

I went with a different nursery this time. I have heard good things about Select Seeds, so I decided to try them out. They had a really good price for the plants, and one of the cheapest places I have found for shipping. I ended up paying just under $21 for the two. It kind of does sound like a lot, but when you factor in how much gas we have wasted in trying to find this plant every weekend, and the cost relative to other online nurseries, this price was phenomenal.

VERY pleased with these plants. The leaves are not dried out like the last place I ordered from, and these were packaged gorgeously. They each had their own little specially made cardboard box, the soil is still damp, and they came in their own pots. The leaves need to do a little relaxing from the journey they took to get to me, but they look to be in fantastic shape. I will, without a doubt, be back to order more from them!

Their pot and potting soil has been waiting for them for a week, so I am very excited to pot them up into their new home!
