Carol was even able to accommodate a last minute change in my order. But even with that, it was still shipped promptly. Would definitely order from FCN again in the future. |

It was well packaged for its trip across the country and a week later all seems well. I have no complaints and, if I can find the space, will most likely be back for more some day. |

Excellent service throughout the first purchase and replacement. I only wish I could order more from them, as I love to support good companies like this. |

Muriel de Paris now has a ripening pod on it and was absolutely breathtaking in bloom. Both Double Delight and Carol H have been with inflos consistently since I've had them. They just keep on churning out those beautiful flowers. Very pleased. |

Both Luc & Carol were absolutely wonderful, Shared a couple hours with us showing us the nursery and educating us on their many Plumerias and their origins. We only had room to buy cutting today but I am positive we will be back to visit many times to fill our nursery |

I called on a Tuesday, talked to Clare and recieved my 4 grafted plants that same Friday. She was extremely helpful and very pleasant to talk to. My plumerias are doing great. I can honestly say that when I get more plumerias, this is the place I will return to for them.

Positive | NoviceGrnThmb (1 review) | On May 26, 2007, NoviceGrnThmb Arcadia, CA wrote: I called Florida Colors a few times with questions prior to ordering and spoke with both Carol and Luc. I've been actively educating myself on plumeria for 3 years and they taught me a few new details in just minutes. They were friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and extremely helpful. I purchased 4 plants (received in March 07) and waited to post my comments until I could confirm my sucess rate, which is 100% - far better than other establishments. The graftings are an excellent price (next time I'll skip the cutting), very good quality and shipping was inexpensive. I have already recommended Florida Colors to close friends and family without hesitation and will undoubtedly make additional purchases through them if the need arises. My only suggestion to them would be to please consider adding more detail regarding flower fragrance and plant height to the website. However, a quick phone call does solve that problem. Overall, excellent job and thank you Carol and Luc! On May 26th, 2007, NoviceGrnThmb added the following: On May 26th, 2007, NoviceGrnThmb added the following: |

Positive | DiamondD (9 reviews) | On Nov 2, 2006, DiamondD Baton Rouge, LA (Zone 8b) wrote: Should I say thanks Clare for recommending them or oh my, I wish you wouldn't have! First go around I purchased 4, they were such healthy plants that yes you guessed it, I had to get several more. ALL of them had excellent root systems. Unfortunately one broke in shipping [you should see the box] and I phoned them and they are sending me a replacement. She even told me how to try and root the broken one. I highly recommend Florida Colors. One of them, Nebel's Rainbow even came with blooms! I so want blooms after reading everyone's comments on the Plumie threads but I wasn't expecting any for at least another 6 months and that if I was lucky. Now, well how pleased am I! |

If i were to get a plant mislabeled and it bothered me that much i would call them up. Usually you can get the problem corrected. Always easier to contact them by phone. |

I have never received an incorrect cultivar from these folks, and I will continue to purchase from them as long as I continue to collect plumeria. |
Positive | fredneileen (1 review) | On Nov 17, 2005, fredneileen North Fort Myers, FL wrote: We have been customers of Florida Colors for many years, and our dealings with Luc and Carol are always delightful and informative. Their grafted plumeria plants are top quality and we have yet to lose one, even through the past two nasty hurricane seasons. We visit the nursery at least once each year to see Luc and Carol, and always enjoy a tour of what's new. They go on plumeria expeditions around the world every year, and bring back exciting new varieties. Also by visiting the nursery we have the opportunity to acquire large 3 gallon plants which are too big and heavy for shipping. For those new to plumeria, by getting the varieties you like grafted to an established one year old rootstock, success is certain. |
Positive | plumiebear (1 review) | On Nov 13, 2005, plumiebear Berkeley, CA wrote: I am a complete novice to Plumerias and ordered my first 2 plants from Florida Colors in Sept. '05. Carol was incredibly patient with my rookie questions both before and after the purchase. She was also kind enough to encourage me in my new hobby by sending one of the plants with an inflo just beginning to emerge. That inflo is now about to bloom (indoors under a grow light) and the plant itself is lush with beautifully healthy leaves. |

Positive | FrangipaniPatch (1 review) | On Nov 10, 2005, FrangipaniPatch Carnarvon, Australia wrote: After hearing that I was unable to source seeds from plumeria "Pudica" Luc very kindly offered to send me some seeds from his nursery, and would take no money, not even postage. What I found when I opened Luc's package, a week later, was not just the seeds I was expecting, but lots and lots more, from many other varieties too, well-known around the world. Despite it still being winter in Australia, I could not resist planting just a few of each variety, and they are now growing madly, some really quite big already. Even the little 'puds' are powering away, despite the smaller size of the individual seeds, as compared to rubras. Luc is a very kind and generous man and I am only sorry it is so hard to bring plants and cuttings here too, or I would be spending up big at Florida Colors! |

The 2 cuttings I received from FCN have to be the heartiest most robust Plumeria that I have. I always joke around that they are on steroids that is how big, fat and healthy they have become in only 5 months! |

Being new to plumeria, I had ordered 2 grafted to test the waters. they were robust, with such a professional graft, nice rootball, and thick sturdy trunks. Even had some prized cuttings grafted. I am nothing but pleased! Excellant customer service, nothing like talking to the boss, Luc and Carol, in person. |

Positive | plumeria_lady (1 review) | On Nov 8, 2005, plumeria_lady Houston, TX wrote: Florida Colors Nursery is one of the finest plumeria nurseries in the world. The owners are top notch and go the extra distance to make their customers happy. For example, when I first ordered from them 5 years ago, I ordered a grafted Maui Beauty. When a Hilo Beauty showed up in the mail, I called Luc (the owner) and he said, "Oh sorry, that was our mistake. You keep the Hilo Beauty and we will send a Maui Beauty asap." I received a healthy and robust Maui Beauty the following week. It even bloomed a few months later! He will always make things right. Luc's grafting is superb, and allows northern growers a head start to having blooms when they purchase grafted plants. I have had Luc do many custom grafts on cuttings that were almost dead...he is a miracle worker and can bring many of them back to life with his superior root stock which he uses for grafting rootstock. The many hurricanes they have suffered through have strengthened their business, believe it or not! After Hurricane Andrew, his seedling called Moonlight proved to be superior, and therefore he has chosen it for almost all of his grafted rootstocks. It was the only plant that was not uprooted in that terrible category 5 hurricane. I have met them both and consider them as gread advisors and friends. Do not hesitate buying from this wonderful nursery...they are quality people with quality plants and quality service! |

In all the time I have known them you will not find anybody more honest than Luc and Carol. They know their stuff at what they are doing and know their plants inside out. If you ever have a question about plumeria or hibiscus they are the people to talk to. My expierence with them is above and beyond a lot of other growers i have dealt with. Can't get much more professional than Florida Colors. |
Positive | Lindyloohart (1 review) | On Nov 8, 2005, Lindyloohart La Mirada, CA wrote: I have purchased from FCN for years - close to 45 plants and have always been more than satisfied. Additionally I have sent 25-30 cutting for them to graft for me that were too weak to start on their own. Some plants I received in the spring bloomed by fall and most all the following year. They are very healthy plants even after traveling across country to my home. FCN is an A+ ++ nurshery and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. |

Knowledable (and more then willing to share that knowledge), honest, and has a sterling record with me for delivering what I have ordered. Their grafted plants are always healthy and robust. I have received probably 150 plants from them over the years, and have never regretted a single perchase. I just wish more growers had their integrity. |

I have ordered from them many, many times over the past three years, and they are the best. Their plumerias are always in great shape, and their prices are the most reasonable that I have seen for named cultivars. I have referred many people to them because of their great prices. Carol and Luc run this business and are two of the nicest people that you will meet. Luc is so talented at grafting plumerias and has taken the time to show anyone who asks how to graft a plumeria. They have so many more plumerias than what their web site indicates so, if you want to see what more they have available, you can call them and ask them to send you their printed list of available cultivars. They have some amazing new hybrids, and they also have plumerias from Australia and other countries. I have been and will continue to be a loyal customer as long as they are in business. |

Price was great $18 as compared to other sources where I priced this variety at $35+. Shipped within the week and in perfect condition. I have my eyes on some other varieties and this will definitely be the place where I buy. Owners are very personable. Thanks Clare for recommending this place. |
Positive | sialia (7 reviews) | On Jul 5, 2004, sialia Hope, AR wrote: I've ordered from FCN for years. They are simply the best source for plumerias, period! You can get a rooted, grafted plant from FCN cheaper than you can get a cutting from most other plumeria nurseries. They also pack their plants well, and have fast shipping. Their website hasn't been updated in a while, but you can request a pricelist from them. |
