Fast shipping and no damage

No kidding, I was scared to buy plants online but I gave it a try after seeing many good reviews about this company. I order two plants and both came in great shape. Nice packaging and plants are very big and healthy. I will order more.

Gorgeous plant!!

I live in Hawaii which is originally what drew me to this gorgeous “Hilo Beauty” (I went to college in Hilo). Shipping it all the way from New York made me nervous, but hey, I’ll try anything once! And I’m so glad I did! It arrived as perfect as it would be if I picked it off a local nursery’s shelf! It even has new growth after only a week of being in my care! I will definitely be back for more Bumble Plants!
