A shame since their plants are awesome overall.
Their plants are awesome. I want more

It appears that Schwerter's shipping fees are about 5 Euro more than Elsner's. Is delivery faster as well? I'm asking because my last order with Elsner was delivered (by DHL) in 7 days, which I find excessive for less than 400 km.

I like Elsner too. She has a paph Venustum Alba that I have my eye on!

So sorry Val that I accidently posted my reply in your post!
As a mod I have an 'edit' button' next to the 'quote' button and several times already I have made the mistake of clicking edit if I'm not thinking carefully about it. I'm still not used to that extra button! So so sorry, I got rid of what I typed....

Well My plants arrived today! THEY ARE FAB !!!!
superbly packed too! they really use 10 times bigger boxes than necc; super quality plastic wrapping ,'thicker than most florists!: ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY - IF IT'S A PLANT YOU REALLY WANT!!!!!!!
For info: I got a Phal Mini Mark in bud ( which I had not expected!) & a Neofinetia falcata x coelestis blue.... which was just a last minute desire & not on a wishlist... As, I have a Neo falcata which has qudrapuled in size in the 5 years I have had it and I have a Rhynchostylis coelestis (Project 10 Warm - from Spring 2010) - This one has not bloomed for me yet ..But The neo took 3 years ...so I'm being patient as roots & leaf growth are OK. Hopefully next year for blooms on the Project plant and a couple years for this new one to my collection.

That's great news!!! I hope you don't have to wait too long for the flowers to show. They really are a great supplier. I can't wait to put another order in.

Val my order was shipped (second time) on Monday and I received it on Friday. I do not think it's any quicker or slower than other growers in the EU. I'd say they all take about the same time...
