Ehhh, I think I've changed my mind already. The shipping isn't unreasonable -- $17 -- and the phytosanitary certificate isn't unreasonable -- $18 -- but if you add them together, that's an extra $35 just to place the order. I've decided the varieties they're offering aren't exciting enough to justify the extra expense, especially since many of the varieties don't have bulb sizes listed and since it's an overseas company unknown to us.
I really would like to get Mandela, though. Now I'm waffling between ordering a few from Amaryllis Bulb Company so I can get Mandela, or just adding a couple of other varieties onto my existing Scheepers order. Can you tell I'm in the mood to buy something? ;-)
Sadly, it looks like two varieties I REALLY want -- Saffron and Dragonfly (or Dragon Fly) -- just aren't gonna be gettable this year. Scheepers and Van Engelen are both sold out of Saffron, and Fedco has stopped taking orders for the year already. And I can't find Dragonfly anywhere in the States. Oh Well, it's not like I really need anymore amaryllis anyway!
