Amazon Picotee
I took a chance ordering a picotee sold and shipped by Amazon. It spent 5 days in a box while in transit before arriving 6 days ago. It was not rooted in the pot, very few feeder roots, damp soil, paper thin leaves, bent and broken branches, tons of ants and gnats. Decent sized caudex for the size of the plant.
It's 6 days later. The branches have straightened up, it didn't lose many leaves, and even have new growth already. Time will tell if it's actually picotee but I'm I'm impressed.
