Daves Garden has a member rated list of mail order companies called the Garden Watchdog.

Look under Products & Sources, then click on Garden Watchdog.

I've tried that, but there's so many to choose from!
So maybe someone reading this forum has had an awesome experience with a bulb company that I'd never think twice about ordering from. You know, personal interaction/experiences/thoughts. I know that the garden watchdog has that comment section but I still want to hear from you guys around here :-)... Thanks!

I'd start with the Watchdog Top 30 that are listed on the front page of the Garden Watchdog, those are the absolute best rated companies in Watchdog and I'm pretty sure there are at least a couple bulb companies listed in that group--should give you a good place to start at least.

I think I'm going to go with "John Scheepers, Inc.". Best selection and price! Plus they're in the Top 5 Watchdog list!

Thanks for all your help!

buggycrazy is one source I love. Many of her lilies are her own creations and not registered, but always a joy to grow. Her bulbs for fall will probably be listed in August. Right now almost everything says sold out becaue those were the Spring ones.

B&D lilies, Faraway Flowers and the Lily Garden are ones I'm always happy with.

I have great luck with Sheepers. If you are considering other bulb material and need larger quantities their sister company is Van Engelen.
