This is for LOCAL PICKUP ONLY, hopefully at the fall plant swap for the Mid-Atlantic Gardening Forum, or in the vicinity of Frederick MD or Lucketts VA.
Let's add drifts of color to our gardens next spring!!
ADR is having a 10% off Sale through next Wednesday, May 16th. I know we will be doing a larger mix and match type of group buy, but any volume discount will probably be about the same as this preseason sale. So for those who like to pet plant in large patches and drifts of color. I thought I'd make an opportunity to join me in an early order.

The idea is to order bulbs by the "retail box" rather than trying to figure out 5 of this and 20 of that (since it's a short sale period). If several people want a retail box's worth of something, we can look at dividing a flat of bulbs instead -- but that can be a lot of bulbs, 400 in a flat in most of the daffodils, while the retail boxes contain 50.
I will drop by to look up prices as often as I can between now and Wednesday, at least once a day. You can expect prices to be half off or better than paying retail, with the exception of crocus bulbs, which are well priced but similar to retail. The daffodils I've been checking out today go from 30 to 80 cents per bulb (before discount).
They have given us free shipping in the past, and I expect that will continue. The usual caveats apply -- if I have to pay shipping, I'll divvy up the cost and pass it along. They don't charge my CC until they ship, but if something bizarre happens and we lose our money, we will share in that loss. I'm not a retail store; I can't absorb a loss.
I'm very excited to see that they have daffodil Bridal Crown again. It's like a shorter and more floriferous cheerfulness daff, bunch flowering and very sweetly fragrant. I think it would combine well with oriental hyacinths!
I know several people were interested in Thalia, so I may go ahead and order a 500 bulb flat of that, figuring we can split into lots of 100 bulbs.
