I've done a lot of mail ordering of columnea: Cuttings and started plants. I will tell you, never, ever have I received the quality of plants I received from Lyndon Lyon.
These columnea each had at least three plants per pot. And they were all healthy with no yellow or sickly leaves. I paid a dollar less from Pat's Pets for nice plants; but they only had one small cutting per pot.
I've heard good things about Lyon but was totally unprepared for the quality and size of these plants.
Now, to the episcias: Ditto. Wonderful, well-established, healthy plants.
I was cautious about buying from vendors after an experience I had with one well-known vendor who sent me small, dry columnea cuttings. Pinched off the mother plant (not cut), plopped into baggies and shipped without the benefit of wrapping the ends in moist paper towels (like Pat's Pets does). By the time I took off the dead ends, I barely had tip cuttings left. And this was nearly $60 worth of plants!
Lyon Greenhouse has changed my mind. They come highly recommended from me. I have also had great luck with Pat's Pets but Lyon just wow'd me :-)
Have a safe weekend,
Linda
