Tulips, daffodils, and fritillaria?

This is my tenth season in this house and I have "turned a corner" in my garden planting!

Finally FINALLY, the deer are secured on the OUTside and I have killed all the grass and weeds (covered 'em in newspaper before they could seed this year.

ANd SO it is time for me to place my plants where I want them to stay!

I'll be buying tulips, daffodils, fritillaria, asiatic lilies, irises, and daylilies (in addition to random things that catch my eye....)

Where to shop?

Brent and Becky's is an obviously good choice.
Anyone care to add on?

I guess I should pay more attention to the bulbs forum during the late spring and summer, I totally misses this thread. Here are my favorite suppliers, not necessarily in order of favorites.

Colorblends
Netherland Bulb Company
Scheepers
Van Engelen
Blooming Bulbs
Touch of Nature
Brent and Becky's

good to know, Cem!
Sounds like pretty much everyone likes Brent & Becky's.

Thanks for pitching in!

You're welcome.

I buy most of my bulbs from Costco. Can't beat the price and I have never been disappointed

I've never thought of getting bulbs from there. I rarely go, the DH does most of the shopping. I'll have to keep them in mind this fall when it's time for bulbs shopping again. As a matter if fact, I need to see what they have in for spring.

Years ago I bought peonies and hostas from SAMs. It took a few years for the peonies to bloom, but they're wonderful now, and the hostas are still going strong.

I grab one or two things when I am in Home Depot at that time of year. I don;t want giant bags of daffodils though - not enough room.

And I've never seen a fritillaria there!

Costco has a fantastic bulb selection and I have seen fritillaria there. different supplier than Home Depot. I usually spit up the big bags with friend

I don't have enough gardening friends to split a bag with.
HEY!! I could DONATE somewhere.....


I'm after some orange "Imperial Crown" fritillaria.......

Make sure that you can see the bulbs and/or feel them---if buying at Box stores.
The caladiums from HD here, last year, were too small and never did anything.
But the ones from WM were excellent---large and sprouted readily.
WM has fritillaria , but make sure it is fresh.
Sometimes the stores do not use transparent packaging.

Lowe's and even Walmart have been good bulb sources here.
