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...

My order was shipped on the 20th and it arrived at my house on the 22!! I think that is excellent.
