You're right Betty, I had a better experience. I just did it the one time, though. I ordered 3, and they sent 1 extra. I got them in early April, and potted them up. They arrived in great shape, and started growing right away. 3 of them bloomed yet that summer, and I let them bloom. The next year they bloomed again, and have been good ever since. The cost wasn't that great at the time, as the money exchange was favorable for US currancey over the Austrailian money, around $3 of our dollars = $4 of theirs. That may be different now. You can e-mail Barry, and he will help you with that information. Also give you the best dates to ship. They ususally end their shipping in April. If I ever do that again, I won't waist time potting them. I'd just plant them (per Keppel suggestion, as that's what he does with good success). Since then, I've just ordered them from Keith Keppel, since, as Betty mentioned, he has most of his newer stock, at least up until now, who knows how long he will be doing that, as he mentioned in his latest catalog.
