Diane, I’ve ordered stuff from You and Robin. Having access to the products in your offerings which are well priced and amazing quality ( like my Velthemia I got a few years back that’s breaking out of the pot or some great cyclamen I got from Robin to plant in an elderly friends garden to cheer her up during the pandemic....) frankly it’s all worth it...to know I’ll have a great purchase experience..not having the endless back and forth getting bad product ftom other vendors or not what I thought it was products....I just had Bob Lauf walk me through purchasing bulbs direct from South Africa..,sure when I round up a group to split the shipping cost with great...in the mean time I’m happy to have great vendors amongst the group....as I know if it’s wrong you will fix it and more then likely from both You and Robin there are no surprises when I get the box from either of you full of what I expected.
