I'm looking to buy a houseplant as a present for a relative, but as they're
a long way away I'd have to order it by post (the local florist now doesn't
stock much due to the Sainsbury's monstrosity next door). I was wondering
whether anyone had any suggestions for suppliers? Google shows me a large
number but I can't tell their quality. Does anyone have any suppliers to
whom they go to buy plants normally who might have a nicely presented
houseplant selection? Preferably somewhere with at least a catalogue on
t'interweb since I've left it a bit late :-)

http://www.plants4presents.co.uk/ looks interesting, if a little limited
selection. Any experiences of sites like these?

Thanks
Theo

PS Type 'houseplants by post' into google and it comes up with 'New & used
Houseplants from ebay.' I think I want a used one :-)

Crocus are good, we had a plant sent via them, arrived in very good
condition.

I have found flowers/plants (Including orchids with lots of fragile flowers)
sent from M&S arrive well packed and in good cond. Have received several and
sent several.
