That great guys, good luck with your plants. Be sure to unpack and handle 'em very gently. Not a bad idea to have some water on hand to place them in between steps.

I have not y et but don't expect it until later this week. If you got the same mail I did (and you are in the US), Wistuba's mail indicated shipment to the distributor. Although he would have gotten it (presumably) last week, there was a minor fiasco a year or two ago where things got held in the post office over a weekend because it took just a little longer, so I think he tries to ship toward the beginning of the week to keep that from happening as much as possible.

Nice! All look great, but those H. sarracenioides are unacceptable... But no worries, Wistuba stands behind his plants, and I'm sure he will replace them if it comes to that.

I'm not sure my pictures would be of that much help. You look like you got mostly stage 3 plants except for H. sarraceniodes, which I managed to get a stage 3 last year. All of mine are small (so immature pitchers) except for a very large H. sp. "Angasima" which I actually didn't order this time; it was a compensation for some shipping and other issues last year (like having things stuck in the PO over the weekend).
I find that the quality & size depends mostly on how easy it is for him to grow, and, of course, the demand, and how long it's been in culture. If you get something the first year it's out, it's inevitably difficult to deal with (small and expensive). As you ordered minors and hybrids, they are large. The burgundy black may not be so large; mine is still very small although it does have adult-form pitchers (although nothing near my normal but much older H. minor). Since I ordered things like H. uncinata, it was small, although better than last year. H. hispida is always small and I have no idea whether or not I will have success this time.

a warning about vermiculite, I have found it toxic to many CPs with the exception of Pinguicula
