I'm most interested in the colossal bulbs Bill has this year... some varieties are only available as smaller bulbs (still the big #1 grade that we're used to seeing from him).

Terri, Robin... How many colossal bulbs do you want altogether, or -- maybe a better question -- what do you want to spend?

Regular size bulbs are $1-1.50 (depending on quantity and variety); colossal bulbs are $3-3.50 (shipping per bulb will be more with the colossal ones of course since they are so much bigger).

Figure on putting 1 colossal bulb where you might otherwise put 3 regular ones (for instance, in a 10" pot or hanging basket). Bill suggests 5 grade1 bulbs in a 12" hanging basket, so I'm guessing you could use 2 colossal bulbs instead.

Catmint, I don't see a "Kathleen Red" -- 'Kathleen' is pretty much light pink with green margins. ? Also, do you need sun-tolerant varieties? (I need a couple sun-tolerant bulbs, but most of mine will be for my mom, and she has mostly shade.)
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
