They have arrived! I live in the same state where the nursery is located. Not as great as I hoped but no where near as bad as I feared :-)

On the plus side: Very green plants. Packed very nicely. Only one plant had minor breakage. There was a slip in the box saying one of the plants might have breakage but it was for a different plant.

Minus: Plants are pretty small. One of the plants was advertised as 2 year old blooming plants but they are the smallest of all. I'm curious if the roots will look like they are 2 years old when I un-pot them for planting. I expect the blooming meant they will bloom this year. I bought 3 and I don't regret it as they are fairly rare and a plant that comes from Turkey where I lived for 3 years when I was a child. I expected the plants to be small because that is what some people commented on in the Garden Watchdog so except for the plants from Turkey - not a big surprise.

Here is a picture of my 14 new plants. Not a lot of green for $93 before taxes and shipping but I'm still smiling.
