yeah, i kept my first phrag (also from woodstream) in a puddle (at their
suggestion); it was a seedling that they said would bloom in 12-18 mos.
18 mos later it sent up a spike, so i couldn't complain. :) it's in s/h
now and has rebloomed a couple times with multiple growths.
i got a jason fischer seedling from them last summer and s/h-ed it in
november; it, OTOH, is taking it's own sweet time doing *anything.*
