By gemini_sage March 31, 2015 | Little Bulbs in the Garden The bulb catalogs have started arriving! And what a smart move, as we're all seeing those heralds of spring popping up with the melting of the snow. Usually, it's the big, bold blossoms that catch our eyes; the Tulips, Daffodils, and Hyacinths are what most of us think of when we think of spring bulbs.

A+++ rating! I won 3 Hoya plants from SRQ Hoyas in a recent AllThingsPlants Not-A-Raffle-Raffle. My plants arrived in excellent condition with the best packing I've ever seen when it comes to shipping plants! Joni offers great customer service and happy, healthy hoyas. I will definitely be a "paying" customer in the near future!
Out of Africa is one of my favorite online places to shop for unusual, sometimes hard-to-find and rare succulents. Their new website is great, making it easy to view the plants and place your order. OOA also has updates by email. This makes checking out newly listed plants easy.
Just received my first order from Jung Seeds and Plants and I'm very pleased. It was a small order of some hard-to-find echinacea (well, I had trouble finding them!) and they were quite reasonably priced. They also included some free seeds. Nice, healthy looking little plants. I certainly won't hesitate to order from them again!
We keep growing, because ATP is where all the excitement is these days! Check out these numbers from last week:
