Mary Ann Sue –
Order Plants in May of 2017. They did not ship with flowers as pictured, but after calling Perfect Plants, they explained to me that they have already bloomed for the year. At first we were upset, but understood plants all have their ideal time of year. Wish we could have ordered them before they bloomed, which is around March they said. Plants were green and healthy. Staff was nice on the phone.
