Well thank you for the compliment! That's good to hear. I thought I had 
done something wrong! I found them on ebay, I guess I meant to order 
lutea, which seem to look very different. Although I think they're kinda 
neat.

I can't tell if you're hinting or not, but if you'd like one I can send 
you one or two (I only have three or four of them...), or I could give 
you the name of the store...
