Fast shipping. I have four happy plants growing right now with a ton of extra seeds. All seeds sprouted that I planted.

My husband and I first saw this (or a similar) plant while on a river raft on our honeymoon in Jamaica. They were huge and the guide called them "Shy Ladies". We tried 5 seeds and 4 came up. It's been a few months and they are now about 6-7 inches tall and very dainty. They are fun to touch and watch curl and bend--my husband thinks it's "mean" but I tell him it's good exercise for them :) They even flinch when water is sprayed on them! They also curl up each night at bedtime. I teach science and look forward to using them in class next year as we study adaptations.

I haven't planted them yet, but the instructions are simple and thorough so I'm satisfied.

As a botanist, I have tried sensitive plant seeds from other sources and they gave very low or no germination. After soaking for 2 or 3 days, I am getting over 50% of these seeds sprouting and producing vigorous young plants.

Delivery was quick and the product was exactly as I expected. I've had great results germinating the seeds. I've planted 10 of them so far and 8 germinated. Good product from a good company. I highly recommend!
