Ooh Rick, did you already place the VE order?

Placed one,but can do another.

Nah but thanks for the offer.

Budlight at ADR is 500 bulbs for $210, 42 cents per bulb... better price than VE (60 cents per bulb if you order 100), but so far we've only "sold" 115 bulbs. However, we're only just underway, so we can see what happens as this week unfolds! I need to post the link around.

Lisa, most of the Peruvian amaryllises are still around $5 per bulb, and none are over $6. All must be ordered in multiples of 10

'Bolero', 'Charisma', 'Cherry Blossom', 'Denver', 'Minerva', 'Olaf', 'Souvreign' are all $5.09 per jumbo 36/38 size bulbs.

'Amadeus', 'Double King', 'Ice Queen', 'Lemon Star', 'Picasso' are $5.92 per jumbo bulb.

Most of the bulbs are also available in a smaller size, but a couple of them are sold out in jumbo: 'Mandala' is available only in a smaller (but still generous) 28/30 size for $3.79 per bulb. 28/39 'Tango' bulbs are just $2.96 -- that's a really good price, as cybister bulbs tend to be smaller than other varieties anyway.

I'm in for 3 'Tango' -- who else wants this elegant cybister? I'd like to try either 'Amadeus' or 'Picasso', too (or maybe both?)

For amaryllis, I'd like to try 'Amadeus'. I will go in on some of the others that anyone is interested in to make up the multiples of 10.

How many would you like of the Amadeus? I'll take 3. For a while, I was planting in groups of 3... now I'm planting 1 for me, 1 for my mom, 1 for my MIL... and after they are done blooming, they are potted up all together.

I'll take 3 too and hope we can get takers on the other 4 to make up a quantity of 10.

We'll get there... I always need a few for gifts, don't care what kind those are (but would rather have cheaper Peruvian ones).

Heck yeah I'll take four Amadeus Amaryllis. I'd be willing to buy as many as six more bulbs, any variety but Red Lion.

OK, that's one set of 'Amadeus' -- what next?

Is anybody out there reading and not jumping in? If so, start talking about what you are interested in, what kind of bulbs you're looking for...

@RickM, were you willing to split Corydalis 'Purple Bird' with Aspenhill? If not, we can order 2 boxes... Terri, you can twist my arm to take a few, and I bet we can find other "takers" also.

Lisa had said she would take some of the Purple Bird.

I've been nearly totally preoccupied with my in-laws this past week, but I think everybody has their head above water again, so I'm turning my attention back to this.

I'd like to finalize over the weekend and order early next week.

If anybody has been lurking, let me know you're here and what you're looking for! If you only want quantities of 10 or 25 of something, post anyway... others may well like the same thing, and then we'll be up to quantity for ordering a box/bag.

Those who are following along, if you can think of somebody who would want to know about this, please send them the link and tell them to hurry on over here!

Terri, since Lisa may be traveling when shipments start going out, are you willing to receive bulbs again this year?

I'm doing my best to order very little. Really. I just can't be sure of planting help, and if I can do some digging this fall I should concentrate on digging and separating the overcrowded daffs I already have!

I can't help myself with Amaryllises, though. We have 'Amadeus' so far. What else? Terri, Lisa, if it's mostly the 3 of us doing the amaryllises.. What else catches your eye? I don't love that orange one or red lion, but I'll go in on any other. I'm getting 'Tango' just to give gift amaryllises that are really unique, but I think I'd want to pot them up and make sure they put up buds.. I'll take up to 10, but I don't need them all.

So, we have my pick, Tango, and Terri's pick, Amadeus... Lisa, your turn to pick one!

Ooh I like Picasso!

I like Picasso. It is somewhat similar to Amadeus and nothing like the other amaryllis I have, so getting those two that are white with a colored edge will be great. Also, I have absolutely nothing like Tango yet either Do we want to split more than 3 different kinds or are we done with it? I could probably go for something pinkish like Cherry Blossom or Charisma if you guys are up for splitting more.

Jill,

How much are the Lemon Star?

What are the current counts on the amaryllis that have been selected?

'Lemon Star' is $5.92 per bulb. I'd take 1 if available (MIL would like it)

We can knock loose at least 1each of Amadeus, Picasso and Tango.

@Critterologist

Jill,
Where do we stand on this mega-order?
