I am curious as to what people have received in the past. Duplicates? Hidden Gems?

It’s a good deal and will come with a bonus hitch hiker or two.

I dithered around this morning and missed out. They're already sold out for this year

Edit: just checked their site and the "sold out" tag is gone! Time to order!
Ordered a couple of rhizomes. Use the discount code "thankyou" at checkout and save $5.

Received the order today, very fast shipping. I got two ~4" rhizomes plus a small hitchhiker. Looks like the little one lost it's roots in transit, hopefully they'll grow back by spring. I'll stick the root cluster in the same pot; maybe I'll get a bonus plant?
The larger of the two 4" rhizomes has three growth points and all are very healthy.

The ones I get from cc look good but grow terribly, cooks ones look bad but grow easily. Idk why they're different.

Curious. I'll pot these up in the morning and get them ready for winter. The AZ spring and summer sun sure agreed with my sundews and VFTs. I wonder if your location had anything to with the CC plants dormancy recovery.
I have just one Dana's Delight right now, more Sarrs are very welcome.
Just wondering, what do you mean by "grow terribly"?
