This vendor sends great AV's and never had any trouble before, but I paid $9.99 each plus $16.12 S&H for these two unlabeled Chiritas. I ordered Piccolo and Rachel. As you can see almost ALL the leaves are broken due to the way the plant was packaged. The rootball was smaller than the pot and completely heavy and saturated with water. We all know Chiritas like it dry!!! I'm not putting the vendor's name here to discredit him/her, but you can go on eBay and see easily who it is because they are still selling these two plants.

This picture shows packaged with leaves facing up and constricted by the bag.

I feel obligated to give my first negative eBay feedback and warn my friends on Daves.
