I can't say enough great things about Odom's. I ordered six plants and they arrived in one day in PERFECT condition and expertly packed. The specimens were beyond beautiful and frankly, nicer than I had dreamed or expected. To top things off, they refunded some of my shipping charges on their own without me even knowing. Honesty like that alone will keep me coming back!
