What has been your experience with Michigan Bulb?
I ordered summer blooming daffodils and it took 3 weeks before they contacted me saying the bulbs had been shipped.
They also told me it would take another 10 to 14 days for them to arrive. (by mule team I guess)
Is that normal? A month or longer to receive your order?

Just wondering

Oh boy... did I ever find out the hard way.
I'm with you never again!
Just got off the phone with them, After 3 calls and being "disconnected twice" I think they hung up on me. I found out 90% of my order was out of stock and would not be shipped until October. Needless to say I canceled my order.
I'm so disappointed I've been preparing the ground for my summer bulbs for weeks and now I'm left high and dry.
Drat and double drat!

Go to the watchdog to choose a reputible company off the Top 30 list. They will be able to get you bulbs in short order for your prepared beds. I couldn't let a bed sit empty! That would be sad.
I have personally bought great plants from John Scheepers, Brent & Becky, and eFlowergarden.

What kind of Summer flowering daffodils did you buy? Was it Chlidanthus?

Summer Cheer Daffodil -
I was shopping their site and found a web special, 2 for 1 sale. I ordered 60 of them, with the special I was going to have 120 dafs. They had a coupon for $20.00 off so it was a great deal.
I guess the old saying goes, if it's too good to be true, it's probably too good to be true.
Now I'm looking for a reputable seller and a reasonable price, rather than an unbelievable price.
What's really bad is after I ordered I started getting their email specials and like a virus I sent it to my daughter and she ordered from them... I called her today and she canceled too. :-(

Sylvi, I was looking at Brent & Becky today good to know you had a good experience with them.
