Confused live plants

However, when I opened the package, the relationship between the plants and the box is as I demonstrate here.

Which means that the Post Office, in its grand obsession to become the best post office it can possibly be*, had x-rayed my parcel, discovered that the mailroom at the little-bitty-garden-plant supply company was a trifle muddled that day, and instructed my postal delivery person to handle this precious article in the manner most appropriate, as opposed to the directions stated.   I will never complain about our noble Post Office again.**

* Post Office, you’ll note, singular.  They’re busy closing all the rest of them.  Soon we’ll all have to commute to Eigg to buy stamps.

** And if you believe any of this farrago, might I interest you in this bridge I just happen to have for sale?  At a very reasonable price, in fact almost exactly what the loft conversion on a small bungalow in a Hampshire village might cost. . . .
