That's what I got ... looks like a small round dark/purple variety with amber to dark maroon insides, possibly very cold-hardy, which means it's probably right up my alley.

I have never really seen anyone with it except Adriano up in Canada, so ... what the heck, right?  This and Vernino were the two biggies I was most looking forward to.

Got mine in today as well.  They were all very generous long thick cuttings.  I peeked at them, but will get a chance tomorrow night to open them up and start cleaning and prepping them for rooting.

Its like Christmas here.   My wife saw the sticker on the box and said "you better not have just bought a box that sized full of moths (there was a quarantine sticker on the box).  She also said I looked happier opening that box than I do on my birthday or Christmas.

I didn't have as great of luck as some of you guys. The stuff I did get looks nice, but I had actually already ordered everything that I got from Jon just incase they didn't come on my UCD order. The stuff that I didn't order from Jon was the stuff that they were not able to send. It's still great that I did get something. Just a little unlucky with my choices I guess.

Thanks, mine has not shown up on my account yet but I think it will be similar. Now I know what to expect.

I paid $ 24.60 for my shipment .I was expecting to pay aroud $ 50. All the longer cuttings I cut to half so now I will have lots of FMV :)

I took my package apart today.  3 cuttings of everything except for one of the 2 Conadria's I requested.  (anyone know what the difference between the two is anyway??)

I gave all of them a good cleaning and set up about half for rooting, the rest will wait for now.  A couple of them were pretty dirty, but no complaints from me.  I just thought it interesting that most were pretty clean and those two were so dirty.

I also got Pomegranate cuttings.  they seem stringy and are longer than any of the fig cuttings I got.  I hear they're pretty easy to root as well.  Tomorrow I'll try and do a couple of each.
