They take a while to come out of dormancy sometimes, but they always do well for me. Make sure you clean off all the fungicide, soak the corms in water, and dust with rooting hormone if bald. For some reason west coast customs likes to confiscate Plumeria, but they have never taken my bananas. $50-55 shipping may seem expensive But considering the cost of express shipping and the certificate as well, I think it's reasonable. Just make sure they include the phytosanitary inspection, this is important to ensure the plants are not diseased and confiscated.

the negative usually come from the bald corms I think. Takes a bit more work to get them going and sometimes they don't make it after the very slow start. BK has a few id like to have as well as ATG. the prices re about the same as in the US but that shipping does hold me back. If they could just do a little better say 35 id jump on it I think.
