Your experiences sound just like mine. :) I suppose I should just call
and ask them next time. The Calylophus serrulatus 'Prairie Lode' that
I got look like they're finally taking off -- when I repotted them I
found that the roots still hadn't spread out of the original plug; it
looked like they'd just potted them the day before!
I received my Thalictrum delavayi 'Hewitt's Double' today and they
were gorgeous. About two feet tall in six-inch pots and full of buds,
ready to bloom. Of course, at that price they'd better be good.

I've heard a lot of people with that complaint; apparently it's being
done to cut down on shipping. :(
