I purchased beautiul, dried plant stems from Bloomist.com called Lunaria (also called money plant or silver dollar plant.). I have grown them and dried them before, but I currently do not live in an area that will grow the plant so I looked online and found them at Bloomist.com. The shipping was reasonable, the package arrived within a reasonable time, and it was packaged pretty well. However, I never received notifications as promised. When I gingerly lifted the plant stems out of the box was all in a huge clump. It appeared to me as if the stems were dried in a huge bunch upside down, so it was all entangled ater it was dried. Lunaria is quite delicate after it is dried, so many of the "dollar" leaves broke off as I very gentlly tried to pull them apart. Plus, all the stems had the dried silver dollar leaves pointing up in a big clump as if it had been hanging upside down! I read the reviews of theth is plant on their website and one review had included photos and it was beautiful. Extended branches and lovely silver dollar leaves gracefuflly unfolding... nothing like what I received. I looked on Bloomist.com for a review optioin and could not find one. I even called them during office hours and got a machine. So much for customer service.
