Ah-ha! Found 'em...but no, I'm not ordering $150 dollars worth of bulbs. Whistling

Found some others that are similar...think I'll go with those instead.

Plus the minium order it is 100 bulbs of each one type. I had no problem. But just look for places selling Greigii Division tulips and pick one that you like. Remember they bloom early and are not really tall. They work well for me in my daylily bed comming up between the daylilies.

A night of steady rain beat down our 2 stems of violacea tulips as well as the reticulate irises. Daffs in front of our wall are trying to open. I hope they don't get too far as sleet is predicted for tomorrow.

Same here, Lucy. I got to see mine for a day...that's it. I tend get more late blooming bulbs than early varieties. The glimpse we get of the early bloomers is pretty but ends way to soon.

The daffodils are out in front of our stone wall along the street. (joggers say that they love the display). It is trying to sleet & I hope the daffs stand up to it.

My reticulata irises are long gone. At least the blooms. But they were so very, very pretty. I want to get some more for next year and other spots in the garden. The violacea tulips are new for me this year. It is raining heavily now so who knows how they are doing out there. I won't be going out to check the garden today in this nasty rain.

I can see the bed of Sundance tulips from my back door and they are all closed up today.

I love those, Jo Ann! I don't have the white, but I enjoy the heck out of my blue ones. Smiling

Your gardens are so tidy! Hurray!

Mine...are not. Whistling But I did get some held-over marsh iris planted in their forever homes today. In the mucky-muck. Rolling my eyes.
