| Before I send Bulb Express all of my money for their fantastic-looking bulbs, does anyone have any good/bad experiences with them? I am sooooo wanting to blow the budget but if I end up with crud, my DH will not appreciate it. I would like to hear anyone's opinion on their plants, etc. Thanks very much |

| I have bought quite a lot from them. Before you buy, do some research on what, and perhaps what variety, grows in your area and on the different pretreatments, lifting for the next year, etc. Some bulbs almost need to be treated as annuals here in the west. I now tend to pot them and if I get a second flowering in the ground that's a bonus. I see they have trays for bulbs needing lifting and I could use them. |

| I pre-ordered some Spring flowering bulbs last year which have just been delivered this week from Bulb Express. I have ordered from them in the past and have been very happy with them. I've never ordered bulbs from anyone else so can't compare, but I had a lovely show last year, particularly with the anemones and ranunculas. |

| I've also found them to be good - got november lilies, daylilies and asiatic lilies from them and they all grew well. Oh, also got tigridia - wow, the photos of the flowers really don't do them justice, let me tell you!! From Mandy |

| I buy from them every year and have just had 190 bulbs delivered from them last week. They are great. I also order from Tesslars. Both places are close to me. |

| Great bulbs etc ,I've ordered from them for the last 3 years now.Just make sure that the plant will be compatable as I got caught with peony roses a couple of years ago.Tesslars are good too. |

| Have dealt with them for years. I pre ordered by (nearly a year) bulbs that my duaghter wanted to give guests as a small wedding thankyou. They required no follow up checking and arrived on time, to the week required. Can't get much better than that. |

| Fantastic! Thank you everyone for all your input. I haven't used mail order before and so I was convinced it would all go horribly wrong. I shall send my money quite cheerfully now!! Thanks very much. |

| I am even going to get a plant replaced where the tuber suddenly rotted and I asked for advice. I had gorgeous Amaryllis from them at the half price end of season sale. |

| Because a lot of bulbs do well only as annuals here, and/or need lifting, I ordered 2 baskets. It's a set of 3, so I have 6 baskets to plant my bulbs in. Anemone and Ranunculus need lifting. I know now so they will be easier to find. I only ever got one year's flowering by leaving them. I'll also be able to lift the more expensive bulbs now for drying off. I think this order came in record time too. |

| A couple of orders I've put in lately have arrived exactly on time, and the recipients were more than happy with the quality of the plants. |
