I buy them locally, either from a local grower or a local big box store. They almost always have a good selection.

I've used Colorblends for my bulbs for years -- always satisfied with their high quality bulbs.

I've been pondering the same thing. I used Brecks about 35 years ago, but I'm not sure they are still reliable. We recently had a bed entirely cleaned out due to invasive native plants. I'm starting all over. I'm going to use Brecks unless I see lots of negative reviews. Looking for mostly daffys, because we have lots of squirrels. Also interested in allium and daylilies for later on.

I have used John Sheepers for decades. "Beauty From Bulbs" is the tagline of their catalogue. @PA Mom-mom You are going to find a terrific selecion of Alium and Asiatic-type Lily species. The don't do Daylillies, but there are other good catalogs for those.

Their collection of Tulips and Narcissi species is astonishing.

Deer eat all the tulips in my area, so I only buy tulips for forcing, now. I particularly love the few scented tulips that are out there. My long-term favorite is Apricot Beauty which is heavenly in color and in fragrance. I have loved so many tulip combinations, but all it takes is one hungry deer to completely decimate the bed, so I gave up using them outdoors.

I do try to compensate with Narcissi sp of all sorts and of a variety of flowering times so that I have lovely color from March through May..

They also have a dynomite selection of Amaryllus and it is a treat to shop for them.

They are a wealth of information about their bulbs and I find them to be an excellent source, year after year.
