Bulbs: Favorite Daff/Tulip Spring Bulb Supplier?, 1 by tabasco

Hi again, everybody---

have you ever purchased from Scheeper's/VanEngelen, pirl? Wonder how their bulbs compare in size with DG--looked up DG and it seems like they are expensive ...

I think 'touch of nature' http://davesgarden.com/gwd/c/1594/
is getting excellent reviews for its spring bulb offerings and customer service but I don't know much about the bulb sizes they offer...everyone says 'topsize' but exactly what does that mean?! ;-)

Tulipworld is getting rave reviews from some and I might try them this year, too, for tulips, especially... along with Growingtulips.com http://www.growingtulips.com/ for rarer tulips at reasonable prices...

I wonder who brokers the bulbs for White Flower Farms....would be nice to get that quality with wholesale pricing (or at least less than WFF)!

Does anybody buy from Grant Mitsch's daffodil site? They offer some interesting hybrids beyond the usual 'stock' garden narcissi...

Well, after my 'array' of daffodils and other bulbs came up for the first time this spring, I can see I am going to have to make a lot of changes and additions to the bulb garden...

I didn't think daffodils could 'clash' with each other, but, I found out, yes, they do! so I will be digging and re-arranging and studying (more carefully) what is available from the bulb sellers! (Would like to try some hyacinths orientalis and a few more tulips, too, if I can keep the critters away and if the Dollar doesn't shrink too much more against the Euro!)

So many choices! So many great resources for bulbs...

Some of my 'clashers' don't look so bad in a pot (except for the photography! LOL)...
