My Vriesea saundersii arrived in perfect condition, even in mid April in the Midwest where the weather can be iffy and cold and shipping through mail could be hazardous. But it came packed gently along with a Tillandsia leiboldiana 'Mora', each wrapped up and in a thermal lined box and two heat packs. It's a beautiful plant. I can't wait to mount it. Or maybe find the right pot? Decisions..
