Don't be frustrated, Pat; you're bulbs will be just fine once planted. See the pictures below. The reason you're bulbs may look similar is because the seller knows you had a late spring and had to hold them back until the time and conditions were right for planting in your area. This is normal practice. Most of us would rather not see that much growth upon receipt, but we also know it's not a problem. Just plant as you normally would, but be very careful not to break off the stem or the bulb will not come up until next year.
Whenever possible, post pictures of what you're talking about, if you can.
