Having placed an order with Planted Tanks just after the bank holiday, it finally arrived today. 
But... upon opening the box i was suprised to see that they had included a copy of this months PFK magazine. 
luckily for me i hadn't already bought it so it was a nice suprise. 
There was also a sample of some New Era flake food. Oh, and there was also a free sample of food on PFK too. 
And to top it off there was a fairly big Marimo? moss ball included in the box too!! 
So... all in all a pretty nice experience. The only thing i wasn't too happy about was that they send the plants out on a Friday, so, if the postie misses you on a Saturday then the plants will be stuck there until Monday. Just seems a little daft to me. Luckily for me i know a postie so he signed for it for me and he took it home and i picked it up from him earlier on. I had pre arranged this as i knew i wouldn't be in this morning so all worked out well.
Right... the plants.
I ordered:
Echinodorus Barthii
Glossostigma Elatinoides
Hydrocotyle Leucocephala
Hygrophila Corymbosa
Rotala Rotundifolia
The biggest leaf on the sword was broken, but the rest of the plant is great.
Ordered two pots of Glosso, one was much more leggier than the other, which was a shame.
The Hydro is a little wild and whacky atm.
The Hygro was a little crushed along with the Rotala as they shared a bag.
I'm pretty sure they will right themselves tonight/tomorrow though so all should be well. All planted in my 'Trial and Error' tank.
