Received damaged during shipping, and it didn't live, but that was not because of the seller but the postal handlers during shipping as the box looked mishandled and my lily was broken. The other plant inside was not damaged though and is doing great. I will and have ordered again from this seller.

Everything was packaged well and came on time, as promised. However, one of the two plants had pretty much turned to mush. It was not hot outside. Our spring was mild, so it did not die from being over heated. The other plant was in perfect shape and was planted right away. I have not seen much in the way of growth, but it is still alive. I hope it will take off and grow for me.
