YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, after SIX hours of brutal waiting after seeing that they were sent out for delivery, I noticed that the tracking system said they had been delivered, but lo and behold, I had not received them! So, I thought I would go check the mailbox thingy that is shared by a couple dozen houses, and I found a little key in out slot, which was for anther slot that had my 'chid in it! Okay, so I have like 10 pics, so I am going to have to break it up. (I find it funny that they were in a beer box!

Here is the box with some scissors for size reference.

The box just opened.

Here is all twelve of them! . . . wrapped in newspaper!

Here they all are lined up.
Back row, left to right is: Bulb. dentiferum, Bulb. Pranom Prutprongse, Bulb. claptonense, C. forbesii, Bulb. carunculatum v. sulawesi, and Epc. Kyguchi 'Fumi'
Front row, left to right is: Bulb. macraei, Bulb. Meen Legend Jewel, Bulb. (lepidum x annandalei), Bulb. nymphopolitanum, Bulb. (Meen Ocean Brocade x bicolor), and Bulb. Worayuth White Fang

A closer view of the left six.

And a closer view of the right six (plus one from the left).

My poor computer really took a while to load all those pics!

What grower did you get them from? They're all very nice and healthy, and that thing that you wonder if it's a growth actually looks more like a spike.

I was in the same position as you on Tuesday, waiting, waiting and waiting for the mailman. I live only a 2min min ride from work, so I ended up going home at morning coffee break and then lunch to see if they had arrived. They had, but the mailman had left the box with a neighbor who wasn't home. I thought the extra waiting would kill me!

Great and healthy looking plants...... bulb's are wacky and weird but just so adorable, have to admit that i have a little soft spot for them myself.......

good luck and happy growing....
