I have been looking on a deal for the Lycoris. I took a chance with them in my zone and they came back. I have a great place for them. The banana, calla, Big Dipper EE all came back also and are doing great.

OK GREAT NEWS yes we can order lycoris cold hardy zone 5-10 pink with lavender hues min order for the co-op is 25 bulbs starting price (could go down if we can order enough of them) 3.25 per bulb with shipping to me. They can be planted right now and I can order them at any time we will add to the spreadsheet in a few days but i can order them separately from the other bulbs.I can ship to you to get them planted right away

I have tons of the pink "naked ladies or surprise lilies" Last year I planted 4 of the red ones and they made it through our winter. The red is what I am looking for. We are going on a rescue of tons of the naked ladies in a week or 2. The house was torn down and the lady had tons of flowers. We have dug up lots of her(she died a year ago) flowers. They are bush hogging the area again, but waiting for us to save what we can.

OK CHECK BACK IN A FEW HRS AND ILL GET THE PRICES

for daffodils there are soooo many choices so if you want to force them to flower for like easter they will run around .40-.60 per bulb.depending on which one and what you want to do with it can be 125 per bag up to 250 per bag size if you want holland for out side planting about 100 per bag and .45 .70 per bulb

freesia .55-.75 depending single flower or double flower and 100 per bag-- mixed color bag single or double 150 mix color for 40.00 (they are 15 bgs of 10)

mabe we can get people to "co-op" and split these up?

OK HERE IT IS LOG BUT IT TOOK ME 5 PHONE CALLS AND 2 OF THEM BEING CONFERENCE CALLS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. THE BIG MAIN DISTRIBUTOR DID NOT WANT TO ADMIT TO THIS BUT HE FINALLY DID. FALLOW THE CHAIN OF COMMAND AND GET TO THE PROBLEM.

THERE ARE BASICALLY 2 PLACES AMARYLLIS ARE GROWN AND WE ARE GETTING SOME OF ALL Brazilian Amaryllis, South African
Holland Amaryllis. THEY ARE DUG UP VERY EARLY AND THEN STARTED TO COOL TO KEEP THEM FROM GROWING. THEN THEY ARE PACKAGE LOADED IN TO BIG TRAILERS (THEY ARE AIR FORCED COOLED) WELL ONE OF THE USA BOUND FULL OF AMARYLLIS BULBS BROKE DOWN. THE TEMP WENT UP. THEY HAD A MECHANIC FIX IT AT THAT TIME TEMP WAS 110 DEG. THE BILL OF LADING STATED TO KEEP THEM BETWEEN 35 AND 40 DEGREES!!!. WELL TAKE SOMETHING COLD AND PUT IT OUT IN HOT HUMID AIR----IT SWEATS AND GETS WET!!! WITH THE CONTAINER WAS FIXED AND RUNNING VERY WELL. THEN THE CONTAINER WAS REMOVED OFF THE SHIP AND STACKED IN THE TRAILER YARD--STILL RUNNING VERY WELL!!!! THE IMPORT COMPANY CAME AND TOOK AND INSPECTED THE CONTAINER IT HAS TEMP GAGE OUT SIDE. THEY TOOK AND LOOKED AT IT AND IT READ 44 DEG SO THEY SAID THIS IS TO HIGH. SO THE CUT THE SEAL ON THE CONTAINER AND OPENED IT AND IT WAS ALMOST SNOW COMING OUT OF IT!!! THEY TOOK THE TEMP INSIDE THE CONTAINER WES 21 DEG!!! AND 90% OF THE BULBS WERE FROZEN. THEY SAID WELL THEY WILL BE OK AS THEY UNLOADED AND LOADED IN TO THE SEMI TRUCK ONE OF THE COMPANY INSPECTORS TOOK A LOOK AND THEY SET THEM OUT IN THE AIR AS THE WARMED UP THEY FOUND OUT YOU CAN- NOT FREEZE AMARYLLIS BULBS!
1ST THE TEMP GAGE WAS BAD
2ND THE MECHANIC SET IT AT 20 TO COOL QUICK
3RD THE TEMP CONTROL HAD FROZE SO HE MOVED THE STICKER TO LOOK LIKE 40 DEG!

SO SOME OF WHAT WE HAVE ON OUR CO-OP IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE....SOME ARE JUST A SIZE DIFFERENCE AND SOME JUST NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE.i WILL EDIT THE LIST ON THIS THREAD. THEN I WILL ZERO OUT THE SPREAD SHEET AND SUBSTITUTE THE DIFF SIZE IF THERE IS ONE.

i AM SO PISSED THAT ONCE AGAIN I HAVE A F**CKED UP CO-OP i WAS YELLING ON THE PHONE FROM 4 AN (OVERSEAS CALL) TILL 8AM. THEN AGAIN WITH THE ONE CEO OF THE IMPORTER FOR 45 MIN AND IT CAME DOWN TO SOME "LOOKED" OK I TOLD HIM I DID NOT WANT ANY OFF THAT CONTAINER. HE THOUGHT I WAS A VERY LARGE BUYER SPEAKING FOR OUR SUPPLIER DUE TO THE WAY I WAS SAYING THAT ITS IS NOT FAIR TO MY COSTUMERS AND I WONT PUT MY REPUTATION ON THE LINE BLA BLA BLA....

SO I WILL GET STARTED THEN LOOK AT YOUR ORDER AND IF YOU DONT LIKE YOUR ORDER I WILL CHANGE IT BUT BE SURD WE WILL GET GOOD QUALITY BULBS.

OK I GOT WORK TO DO ASK IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK

MY FAVORITE THINGS ARE STARTING TO BE CO-OPS Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Hurray!
MIKE
4TH THE MECHANIC NO LONGER HAS A JOB AND I WAS TOLD THEY ARE HOLDING HIM REPONSIBLE FOR 65,000.00 WORTH OF BULBS!
