That's the ticket, Trish. Surely, one of the two will stay alive. And if both do, then I'm way ahead. In my experience, most nurseries take care to send good plants as replacements after the first delivery has been criticized.
Janice, they stay in business because people suffer in silence. I'm so glad I have my ATP blog, where I can register my complaints and warn others.
I actually received a completely satisfactory delivery of fuchsias today from The Earthworks, so I'll be adding a new entry to the blog later tonight.
