Not a typo, Rick, it would be my mistake. You right, not legally. Not to defend what I said , but I've seen adds on the internet for Species shipped in 4 inch pots from China and Japan. I'm not inferring this reputable source did that, but it's one way stuff gets in here uninspected. Not everything coming in here is 100% inspected. Trade shows are common in the Northwest and a good grower/buyer could conceivably and unknowingly buy contaminated stock. Also, mite colonies tend to locate deep inside the core of a bulb making visual inspection and pesticide treatment difficult or ineffective on bare root bulbs. Still no excuse for me not being more clear, probably because of my untrustworthy line of thinking these days with so much junk being shipped internationally. Thanks for bringing the topic up to my attention; it's always appreciated, and I'll go ahead and Edit/Add a note to the above post referencing our two following posts here.
