Dear All, Several people requested that we talk about favorite sources for bulbs and seeds. One of them suggested we concentrate on the good sources and not the ones we have been unhappy with. Hopefully what is a favorite for one person will not have been a disappointment for someone else. I agree being positive is better, but think if we know about problems with some source that is recommended (takes money and doesn't send out bulbs, bulbs arrive shriveled and never recover, bulbs dug in the wild, etc.), that information is valuable as well. I'd like to suggest that since we are an international group that we include international sources so that people will list favorite sources in Australia, Canada, United States, Europe, New Zealand, South Africa, South America etc. even though some of those places may not ship everywhere. Perhaps where they do ship and how to get in touch with them would be helpful information to add if you have it. We have 153 email addresses subscribed to our list and you never can tell who might find your information helpful. Let's cover all the possibilities. Jim Shields keeps a data base of sources so perhaps he will get some new ideas. Please tell us about your favoites. Mary Sue
