When I have ordered from Karol, sometimes I will have a bonus suggestion or two from her but since my orders were always large ones not only did I get the suggested bonuses but also lots of other bonus plants. And the times I ordered current years intros I always received even more current years intros as bonus plants. More bonus plants than in the original order. Karol was always very generous with the bonus plants I received that is for sure.
I also am waiting until some of the other hybridizers I like to buy from announce their 2012 intros before I make any decisions. I only have about 8 empty spots that I can fill so I can only get a few new ones.
