I started early with fall bulb ordering this year, since I'm organizing a (local only, sorry) group buy. We "hit" the B&B pre-season sale (discount was equivalent to free shipping) for a few additional goodies, but the (big) bulk of our order will be from ADR.
I'm trying to resist the temptation to order "just a few" of everything in addition to the few items I want in quantity... but it's hard! Sometimes it's hard to know where even one clump of bulbs should go in fall, so I'm looking around the garden this week, looking at my photos from spring, too, and trying to decide where most of the bulbs should go BEFORE I order them. As if. I should be taking notes. LOL
Here's what I ordered from B&B:
6 Amaryllis H. 'Ballerina' -- I'll keep one and use the rest for gifts from Joyanna, who is gleefully planning to take ballet again this year.
10 H. hispanica 'Queen of Pinks' -- little patches in the back daff border, where they'll hopefully increase
10 H. hispanica 'City of Haarlem'
20 Iris ret. 'Pauline'
5 N. 'Capree Elizabeth'
10 N. 'Precocious' -- front corner with some other "spring pinks"
10 N. 'Roulette'
5 N. 'Solar Wind'
20 N. 'Sweet Love'
I'm still working up the ADR order. Tomorrow is the last day that they will be able to get EVERYTHING in their catalog. After that, we'll be limited to their (considerable) stock on hand. I've got my eye on some JUMBO bulbs of 'Las Vegas' daffs and 'Red Impression' tulips, especially.
