I am lucky enough to be able to visit this nursery every year. They have some really radical plants here - a super big selection of aloes and adeniums. Lots of nice cacti and succulents in all sizes. Gene and Jane know their plants. (Have never placed a mail order with them.)
I've probably sent 50 orders or so to this company over the years, and have had very few problems. One time an Ariocarpus rotted soon after being planted, but was replaced promptly. The Adeniums tend to be a little attenuated, I prefer a fatter plant with more branches. However, it is a well known fact that cuttings tend to be more torpedo shaped, and all of Living Stones Adenium offerings are cuttings. The lithops and mesems are the stars of the show, being reasonably priced and extremely healthy. This is probably the premier source of those two groups today, I can't think of a better one in the US. In sum, order from this nursery with complete confidence, I 'll think you'll be delighted with the plant product, quick order handling, and professional dealing of the entire transaction!
I just received a shipment from Living Stones, the third one or fourth one since 2001. I am very pleased with the quality of the plants and with the very professional and polite service that I have always received from them. Plants are consistently larger than I expected and of the greatest quality. They have always thrived in my care, not just survived. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the plants, and they always ship promptly (and do not charge your credit card until they actually ship, which unfortunately is not what some other outfits do). I reccommend them in the strongest possible terms.
I placed orders in all biggest nurseries with succulent plants in US. In my opinion quality of service, quality of plants, communication, the way owners of Living Stones treat customer –everything placed this nursery much above the average.
I used e-mail to check availability of plants, requested to put them on hold, and then mailed order with enclosed check. In week I received package with plants before my checking account was charged. I ordered 8 plants, all burseraceae. I received 8 very nice looking plants, each individually wrapped, roots protected with moist sphagnum moss. All seedlings, without damages, with very good established root system and not dried foliage. Each plant marked with name. Con: ordering system form which I don’t like, adobe format. I will order in this nursery again

Today I received second order from this nursery. They delivered pretty plants, even better then described, prices are low and everything coming as promised. This time communication was even better.
