So in march I packed my 15 favorite orchids in a box, with tracking, with insurance and send them to Rosie in the UK. All 3 Neos were in there.
Very long story made very short, the box got hopelessly lost and showed up in september. Amazingly 4 were still clinging on to life after more than 5 months, but life outside the box was too hard on them  My only consolation was that I managed to claim part of the insurance.
So when Glenn comes to the UK this summer for an orchid show, I'm ordering more Neos! |
Oh man! I'm really sorry to hear that. I can't imagine loosing all my favourite plants at one time.
I know it's shallow consolation, but at least the insurance will help replace some of them.
Cheers.
