E...Buy now, buy again later; that is my practice. <br /><br />End of season bulbs work great in my climate, because we don't have frozen ground in December or ever. The chance taken is that the more desirable bulbs will sell out.<br /><br />It makes for a poor garden scene when the planned white daffodils have to be replaced with orange centers and yellow petals, the blue hyacinths with muscari.Nell Jeanhttp://seedscatterer.blogspot.com/2009/09/looking-ahead-to-spring-bulbs-work.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-87423490471932507162009-09-25T16:43:05.343-04:002009-09-25T16:43:05.343-04:00Bulb shopping is so much fun.

I do plan on ordering from High Country Garden soon for my xeric wildflower bulbs. <br />Good to know they are still out there.

But I do have a catalog marked with possibilities to be narrowed down, and the local garden center is fully stocked at the moment. I like to do both--look at the pretty pictures in the catalogs and order some, and also hold some in my hands to choose the best ones at the garden center.

I just love the color and shape of those blooms! Unfortunately, my procrastination cost me several bags of summer-flowering bulbs. I bought a bunch in the mid-season (b'twn late winter and early spring) only to let them sit all summer long in my garage. I just never got around to the task of planting them...and I have my reasons...but any Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-16524515168829943112009-09-23T20:37:00.342-04:002009-09-23T20:37:00.342-04:00But Carol, if I go to the garden center to buy bul...But Carol, if I go to the garden center to buy bulbs I know the impulse buying won't stop at them. There will be those end of the season 75% off perennials and those 40-60% off flower containers and. and, and. Well you get the picture. It is just not safe for me to venture into those places. :)beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-26953830113326019572009-09-23T15:42:53.766-04:002009-09-23T15:42:53.766-04:00That's kind of funny!

I love the bagging up your own type of bulb buying. We planted tulips and daffs for ages at the weekend - spring = hope in my head. I have planted happiness.<br />Plus we are also getting lots of free stuff from a magazine! What's not to love about that?Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475182740888543862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-1776916825886292222009-09-23T08:28:52.830-04:002009-09-23T08:28:52.830-04:00I love coming home with piles of those little bags...I love coming home with piles of those little bags stuffed with bulbs.
