This is not my first time ordering from German Specialty Imports. First one was the out of stock orders, I let it pass. But this one recently gets me, I spent total of $46 for Edelweiss plants that came out barely alive. The plants weren't packed well. So when I received it at first, I thought I can save it but it was dead the next day. I reached out but Erika didn’t get back to me. I’ve wanted to give this plant to my Austrian in-law.

Mieders are amazing because you get a great festival look that you can wear with your OWN jeans! Great for travel and when it’s fall in Germany because I find it a bit cold. Erika also has the largest selection of blouses...
