I ordered Kopper Kettle and Morning Lilac from MB for 50% off, or $25 each. Usually you get a plant that is small, takes 3 years to bloom, and looks to be a tissue culture plant. See the original pics in this thread. Well, today I got the Kopper Kettle and the packaging was distinctly different from all the previous peonies I have purchased from them. The package was much smaller and the root was packaged like this

When I opened the package, took out the root, and washed it off, this is what I had

A large single root (thick) with at least 6 + eyes. It is about 10 to 12 inches in length. Unlike their tissue culture plants, this root is large enough to bloom next spring. Any one else get this kind of root from MB?
