BROMELIADS Aechmea LADY D Large and Stacked!

Description

Well, I confess! I remember a day when people used to ask permission to use your photograph before taking it. I even had a professor from Brazil years ago email me to ask permission to use a picture of an Alcantarea Vinicolor that I had taken at Selby's because it was in the perfect stage of the bloom for his presentation. Boy, did I get a big head after that one! But now days, people don't pay so much attention to usage. This listing is for an Aechmea Lady D. The structure and color of the plant speaks for itself. You can see the wide, spineless leaves create a beautiful form. But I didn't have a picture of the bloom which is a big, heavy, brilliant magenta bloom! So I googled it and lifted it for my listing. I have mixed feelings about it and I confess! I think it's called conscience.  The sale plant is the the one in the first 4 pictures.
Can we talk???
You know I’m not one for disclaimers and warnings in my listings. I like to keep it simple. But this shipping thing has me going bonkers so here are my thoughts. Now I use UPS and they have been performing well, it seems. I use Ebay shipping to print my labels and they give a nice discount for using their services. The result is that the actual shipping cost is lower (sometimes as much as 40-50% lower) than the price quoted to the customer. I have no way of knowing the actual savings until the package is weighed and measured. I give a refund to the buyer, but the customer
may not know ahead of time about the discount.
As always, I will continue to combine shipping and be proactive to save money on your behalf.
