What's on your bulb buying list?
The catalogs in your mailbox are your first clue - it is time to purchase spring bulbs.
Garden catalog people know that few of us actually tear out the order forms, fill them out and mail them in. The catalog is simply a reminder to go on line and place your order.
Garden centers have not traditionally been a good place to find a healthy selection of spring bulbs, although they are improving, their prices can be good and there is no shipping fee. But the catalogs have it all over them in terms of exotics and new varieties. But if you just want a few red and yellow tulips and some regulation daffodils, you can find them there.
What bulbs are tempting you this year? And where will you order them from?
Later today, I will share some tips on buying and planting bulbs. Stay tuned....

After the dark, wet dreariness of winter, I want ginormous yellow daffies and red tulips. Last year, I did fall for the package picure on some pink tulips and they were quite lovely, blooming as they did, later in the spring.
