Well, USPS failed to deliver my plants today as they promised. That means they will be sitting in a warehouse in Boston during a polar freeze until Tuesday, so I think they’re probably all dead. I did bring cuttings of a couple of them in my luggage.

Sigh.

Sorry to hear that. Any chance of getting new plants sent if the all turn up dead?

Well, I’ll have to buy them (shipping plants is always at your own risk). So eventually.

Ugh. Not my favorite carrier. Things seem to inevitably fall through when I use them too.

Oh no, the mail UPS, FEDEX or USPS going the opposite way had been pretty bad. Even 2 days been turning into 4-6 day delivery
