I've gotten good bulbs from Van B. MOST were accurate. Not so plants.Horrible. I also had a problem with accuracy from Van Engelen, and they gave me a hard time about replacing the bulbs. It was asiatic lily Stones, and I had contacted them right after the lily bloomed wrong in early summer, and they said there was no problem with Stones. I sent them a picture, and then they sent me replacements, still insisting there was no problem with Stones. After the replacement bloomed inaccurate I asked for another replacement of the correct Stones, and they said they had gotten the incorrect one from the supplier, so they had none. It made me feel like they didn't trust me in the first place. Other than that I have never had any problem with Van Engelen. I can understand a mistake, no problem, but I almost felt like they were saying I was lying.

Mine were people I had never had any contact with before Jo, so it does happen, people signing up with GW to leave legit feedback.

Always best to buy anything you can from the grower.
