They're just teeny divisions, seem healthy enough. I've purchased some through both companies and what you get for the money is fair. Yes, you can buy them from the big growers and probably get blooms the next spring or buy several different varieties of the small ones and wait a few more years. I do both! The thing that MB, SH and KvB have that the big growers don't is a grow or money back guarantee. I also impulse buy the bagged varieties at Walmart and Sams, I just make sure the labeling reflects where they came from so I'm not surprised if they turn out to be something different than from what was pictured.
