Oh man, oh man. I hadn't been bad over the winter to order plants for the garden but really did just go nuts just now. Just hit the order now for bulbs from COLORBLENDS. Mostly Tulips. I have never ordered from colorblends before but I have seen their tulips on their website. They really have the most beautiful tulop blends. So I ordered-

100 1295 Bloomsday

Polly, this is only my first bulb order for this fall. I intend to have lots more as I am also going to order from Brent and Beckies , Scheepers and Van Engelen which is the wholsale side of Scheepers. Some I intend to get at Van Engelen because when you do 100 of a variety (or more) it is much cheeper at Van Engelen. In fact 100 there is about the same as 50 at Scheepers. But I do also have to order at Scheepers because they have the smaller amounts. Like 10, or 20 of a variety you can not buy at Van Engelen.

I will be getting lots more tulips and daffodils. Plus also a large amount of crocus. Then some Dutch iris, Iris reticulata and also some Chionodoxa. You should see my lists and notes I have made and am still making about what to order and were it will be planted. Hilarious!
