Yesterday, an order from
Kartuz came in. This was my first time ordering from them, so it was a bit of a test to see the quality of the plants that came in. They also had a few plants which I hadn't seen available anywhere else.
The packaging was impressive and obviously great care had been taken to ensure they arrived safely. However, I was a bit disappointed with the Passiflora holosericea and Passiflora 'Anastasia' I ordered. The leaves are all yellow and look very chlorosed. I am not sure if either of them will survive but hopefully.

| Passiflora 'Anastasia' looking even worse |
The other plants look a bit better:
 |
Hoya mindorensis
|
 |
| Acanthus sennii from Ethiopia |
 |
| Brillantaisia owariensis |
 |
| Impatiens niamniamensis 'African Queen' |
I also noticed the beginning signs of germination from Sonchus fruticosus!! This is my second favorite Sonchus (S. leptocephalus being my favorite but it is still unavailable from Rare Plants).
