Hi,

You are absolutely correct and very observant. I do run Plant World at Newton Abbot, and the original web site, but the 'spin-off' "Ray Brown's" was actually built and maintained by a very good friend with my permission, so you will receive the same seeds although the prices may vary a bit. I'm sorry you were confused. I have had a few people notice this but there is nothing sinister about it I promise you. We still grow almost all of the seed and all our plants here so are a good old fashioned nursery!

The fascicularia is a stunning plant when it finally gets going. The ones in the gardens here are 22 years old and flower incredibly every summer. We do sell large plants in pots to visitors but not by post I'm afraid. A sizeable plant will cut the wait down by about 4 years!! Can you came and visit us?

All the best

Ray Brown
