I'd take the plant back and get my refund. I bought raspberries in those gunnysack packages. I know the package was a gimmick to tempt the unknowing, but the plants were a variety I was looking for and the plants looked really good. So I get them home and the roots are in a plastic bags with about 2 Tablespoons of soil, and the roots are completely exposed. Yikes. I potted them and put them into strict quarantine. I figured anyone who would ship plants like that didn't care if they lived or died and wouldn't care if they were diseased. So far, so good. The plants look great and are growing rapidly. However, I know I bought mine within days of their arrival to the store. If those plants had sat very long in that package, the roots would have been too dried out to live. In future, be very careful about fancy packaging. It's only purpose is to attract consumers. Those raspberries I bought in the gunny sack were extremely expensive for two very small dried out sticks with tiny dried out roots. I knew I was paying a lot extra for the package, but those were the only raspberries of that variety available in the area and many mail order places were sold out early this year. I hadn't been able to find them any place else. That fancy expensive package, by the way, just went into the trash, so I paid a lot for something to immediately throw away.

i would bet.. HD plays internet middle man ... and would wonder if they were shipped directly from the grower ... check the box.. all literature.. tags.. any buried tags .. see if you cant glean a growers name ... back in the day.. i used to get multiple shipments on one order.. from whatever source ... and then i figured out.. they were coming from different growers ... directly ... go figure... looks like a great plant ... i like the way you opened the box.. to see how they shipped it ... ken

I can't see the photo either, but will take a wild guess and say it might be the vine Pyrostegia, which is brilliant orange in bloom, and tends to bloom in winter.

I've been reading this one topic a lot and visiting the different nurseries online. I love edible landscaping, especially fruits and berries. I have Washington Hawthorns, Elderberries (Adams/Johns), 3 grapevines, 4 dwarf cherry trees, a mulberry tree (Morus alba), strawberries, blackberries, amber raspberries, coralberries, and blueberries mixed in with perennial flowers in my urban yard. When I stop reading the topics long enough to figure out how to post pictures, I will post some berry pics as I have two different berries that I didn't plant and need an ID. I've been looking high and low on the internet, but can't figure out what they are on my own. Both of the unknown berries were in my yard before I started planting stuff, so I know it isn't stuff I've purchased or piggybacked in with stuff I purchased. I also don't see them elsewhere in my neighborhood and the hubby worries they might be poisonous - I'm tempted to taste them every year. I planted the hawthorns for the songbirds to eat. I think I have about 25 planted and thriving since last spring. I'm hoping the birds will eat those and the coralberries more and leave me with enough of the other fruits that I end up with stomach aches from eating too much. Next year, along with doubling the amount of grape vines, I'll probably plant 5 more blackberries (3 different varieties tbd this winter.) I will also plant at least 2 varieties of red raspberries. If you haven't noticed, I like plants with thorns. I used the Hawthorns to create a hedge on the north and south sides of my front yard. But I will move them all to the north side and put a blackberry hedge on the south side. I have to do this to keep the mailman, neighbors and felines out of my yard - I have to protect my flowers also. I want my yard to be a sanctuary for the birds, but cats keep visiting and stalking the poor birds because I have several neighbors that let their cats roam the neighborhood as they please. After my thorny plants started growing, my yard hasn't been the neighborhood litter box it once was. (I just hope I don't accidently sit on my thorny babies like I did many years ago on a rose bush because I literally could not sit for weeks!) I also haven't had to worry about my indoor-only cat being worked into a frenzy from the cats taunting her at the windows. Anyhow, I realize now that there are many many serviceberries but I can't find good photos of them. I've found a lot of information, some drawings, and a few photos that looked like wilted flowers. I also haven't seen any mention of thorns - do any serviceberry plants have thorns? Where can I find clear photos of a few different types alongside good descriptions? (I'm planting thornless fruit away from the property borders.) I still need plants for my edible hedge along the front/west side of my front yard - hopefully thorny and growing at least 4' -6' high. Otherwise, I'll continue to use the Washington Hawthorns for a hedge but add 2 Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'Aphrodite') bushes for the butterflies on each side of the front gate. After all that, I still have a couple spots left for either serviceberry, or maybe currants. A few photos of the serviceberry growing in your gardens would help me choose.
