8/15/09 - Brenda & Mahlen: I just wanted to say that it was a pleasure for D..., A... and myself to meet you both. I have ordered from you in the past, and have always been very pleased with your plants. This was through the mail, but it is alway nice to actually meet the individuals that I'm dealing with. Thanks for your time and your willingness to answer our questions. Since D.... and I are in charge of plant sales for our show, I'm sure that we will be talking often and perhaps visiting again. Take care and God bless ... J

7/17/09 - Hi Mahlen, The leaves arrived in Vancouver Tuesday of this week, beautifully packed and in excellent condition.  They’ve firmed up nicely in water and I’m expecting to put them down this weekend.  Hopefully in the Fall I’ll’ve lots of vintage violets to share! 

Once again, thanks for all your care with this order...it’s much appreciated!  No problems with Canada Customs or the post office, the package just breezed through. 

cheers, LJ

7/16/09 - Hello Petrys--I received my violets and leaves today.They look great!!! Just one small issue--if you  will scroll down to look at our previous correspondence, I asked about the violet, Blackie Bryant.  It was not added to my shipment and was hoping that I could still get it without going through another order process.  Is there a way to use my credit card info that you already have and just ship the one plant?  Thank you much, AP

Thank you for continuing to produce Anna Kreeck. ET

5/1/09 - I received my four beautiful African violets this week.  Thank you for feing so understanding about replacing the violets that I left at the flower show. Not many people in today's world would have replaced my merchandise at your expense.  And I've never seen plants so careingly wrapped for shipment.  The people that work for you must really respect living things.

Again, Thank you for making my world a little happier.  J.

10/23/08 - Hello! Upon receiving your email yesterday informing me that my order had shipped, I was anxiously awaiting Friday's arrival of my mail carrier.  To my surprise,  he rang my doorbell about 15 minutes ago -- with my violet order that literally arrived within 24 hours of your shipping it!  I was delighted to have received them a day before I actually expected them to arrive.  I just finished unwrapping them and was amazed at how meticulously and lovingly they were packaged.  The violets are just beautiful -- I can't wait for them to flourish and bloom!!  And thank you so much for the gift of "Pastel Glitter".  I checked your web site to see exactly how it will look when it blooms and I'm thrilled to tell you that I don't have a violet that is even close to that one.  What a wonderful addition to my collection!  How kind of you! Thank you again for your attention to detail and your much appreciated outstanding customer service.  In this day and age,  customer service is hard to come by -- let alone customer service of your caliber.  It was a pleasure doing business with you,  and I assure you that I will return when I'm in need of (or just want!) additional violets in the future.  See you at the Philly Flower Show!!  K.

My violets arrived today in beautiful shape!  I am so pleased!  As a shipper of plants (daylilies), I was so impressed with the extreme care in packaging my violets.  I will look for my second box to arrive hopefully, tomorrow.
