    Hi All

    Every week I keep getting a new Autumn Catalogue droping through the letter box.

    Quite fancy some new varieties minature daffs , Camasia (not grown these before but I seen at Wisley in the spring looked realy impressive , tips on these please would be useful).
    And Muscari quite like Azureum, Dark Eyes , Lady Blue, Touch of Snow all will be new ones to me I tried the bog standard varieties last year and they like my garden so I may push the boat out, they stood up too the wind and rain which I think may be the way ahead.


    Fringed tulips look realy nice as well I like Cummins & Davenport so much choice

    So what you all having ....

    I have also received quite a few bulb brochures.

    Having been in Amsterdam last week, and going to the plant market, it is so much cheaper there. Some of the stalls were selling 3 bags for €10.

    Tulips wouldn't really fit in with my planting, but if they did, I could have gone mad there.

    I've been thinking about planting tulips, daff's and Lilies for next year. I only have the Parkers catalogue. What other catalogues are there ? I would rather get all the bulbs I need from one company if possible.

      I am forgetting 2012 and looking ahead !! , those muscari they better have some left I know you get the order in early plus so easy to plant.

      Gazania here a couple to look at : the rest of GC can add favourites if you want

      http://www.avonbulbs.co.uk/
      http://www.blomsbulbs.com/collections/32-Autumn-2012

      I have had from both above cost a little bit more but they will be topsize bulbs and the bigger the bulb the more chance of getting a top notch flower plus what I like hard to get hold off varieties..

      My T&M catalogue that arrived yesterday had a e-voucher code for £5 off on the order form for using both by post & online. Hopefully that will work together with my £10 one sent as compensation for those dodgy sweet pea seeds they sent me. All I need now is a free P&P offer/code.
