Re: flooding and ferns

Hello Diann & Patsy,
    Sure am sorry to hear about you having problems with Roslyn Nurseries. Been a
couple of years since I ordered anything from them, but in the past have always
looked forward to their catalog. Never had any problems with them myself.
    Seems as though everyone is having problems with growth in size of the
operation or simply getting out and letting someone else worry about the headaches
that come with shipping. Around here we are staying the same size and I am the one
to blame, if any thing is wrong,  since I am the only one who pulls, packs and
ships an order.
    For a $700 investment you are amazingly low key about the whole thing..... I
would not be.
