    Hi, and welcome, njoyit2.

    I don't know if LIDL (pronounced lee-dal) stands for anything but it's a German low-cost grocery store, like Aldi. We have them here also.

    I see we did a double act there, LoL!! :D

    Yes, they do lots of plants, and as they have a different range of stuff in every week, it's in great condition and cheap!
    Do let us know about the peace lily - always good to get insider info on these places :rolleyes:

    The third attempt worked - and yes, what a monster!! That's in lovely condition, and such a big plant to get on internet order.... Must check out that company! :D

    BTW, to avoid everyone else following up the first two links that don't work, you can click on the icon above each message to be able to edit a post, or even delete it completely. ;)
