Hi Barb, This is one of the easier species to grow. They will drop all of their leaves when dormant so I suspect that the shipping process dried out the medium and caused them to go into dormancy. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Repot the bulbs during summer dormancy. The bulbs can get to 2-2.5" (~5cm) in diameter.
