The roots from Brooks looked great and have been planted. Those from Easy to Grow bulbs, well...lets just say I gave them the "stank eye" when I opened the box Hilarious! . Kinda small, buds looked a bit damaged, and a couple felt a little spongy. The exception among the 5 from Easy to Grow Bulbs was Coral Sunset, that root looked pretty good. All but one of those are planted.

Today I remembered I hadn't checked Hollingsworth and ordered a few more. Burma Midnight, Hot Chocolate, Old Faithful, and Sword Dance to further quench my thirst for dark reds, and Coral and Gold and Color Magnet jumped in my cart as well. I'm so glad I hadn't waited too late to get some reds this year! Missing out on Swenson's really bummed me out, they've impressed me most of the vendors I've tried. However I'm really happy to place my first order with Hollingsworth too, always heard good things about them.
