Any opinions on this company? Any ordered from them before?

I ordered Lorelei from them - it bloomed true. I thought it was a little small but I'd never ordered herbaceous roots before and other people said it was a normal size for that root.

Here's the post

Checked out your post and it seemed your Adelman roots were significantly smaller than Lorelei from Champlain Confused

This is why one should always use a tape measure next to roots, not objects, I guess.

I'm in a room where I don't have a tape measure to measure my hand nor the exact scissors but my pairs are all close enough, so with the magic of Photoshop on my phone here's what my hand looks like compared to the scissors (actual photo I just took) and what that would then look like with the roots (a digital mockup but scaled to match my hand ie glove size to where it falls on a pair of scissors) ... I'm sure it's not exact (it's probably even smaller, I'm estimating where on my wrist the glove hits me) but I remembered being like man that root is small and it's certainly close enough to show how big the other roots are in comparison.

As mentioned in the post, they're about the same and I did plant all the roots myself so regardless of anything else, in real life, the root from Champlain was much smaller than the other roots. (But, of course, they were different varieties.)

If anyone has a pic of Lorelei from another company, especially next to a tape measure, that would probably be the best comparison.
