Shipping Has Ended for 2016 and it feels like Fall is here.

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.” 
― Henry David Thoreau




Thank you so much to the loyal customers and the new folks finding this collection of plants. You make all the work totally worth it. Shipping has ended for this season. I hope to have time to do some more extensive blogging on the fall collection this year since I got everything done and sold earlier then usual.
Some of the Colchicum Mix from this years list doing it's thing already in August.

The early fall bloomers have enjoyed a little cooler weather this week as temps dove down into the 60's 

Colchicum 'Glory of Heemsteede' was included in the Colchicum mix and
that was a very popular item on the list this year.

Thank you again for ordering bulbs and letting me divulge in  the hoticultural arts with passion. Happy Growing!

Cool, cloudy and temps in the 60's as we look foward to the long holiday weekend.

Cheers,
Mark
