Dear All: I am sorry to post this, but I think it is necessary. I am being swamped with requests and e-mails that I simply can't answer. I am one person, and have only very limited unskilled help one morning a week. I can't sit at my computer answering questions like "when are you going to have ...." For species that are sold out, I simply don't know when I will have enough to list again, so these aren't questions I can answer. Please ... if you have questions about growing a bulb, identifying a bulb or germinating seeds, ask THIS forum, not me. I just don't have the time to answer questions like this, and you won't receive an answer. Taking care of the bulbs and packing and sending orders takes priority and fills up my day completely. I can only spend computer time doing that, I can't chat or carry on a correspondence with other bulb growers as much as I might like to. For e-mail orders, you might wait a few days for a confirmation. I am away from home every other weekend this time of year (from Christmas to about May). After that I work seven days a week and answers will be more timely. Please, do not repeatedly send me requests for a confirmation over weekends, it won't speed things up. Everything here goes through me, nothing is automated, so you don't get an instantaneous confirmation and shipping date that is computer generated like you do from most mail order companies. Often I have to physically go out to the greenhouses to check to stock to see if I have sufficient quantities. Many of the bulbs are growing in pots and are individually removed and packed for shipping, so I often don't even know the exact quantities I have. It isn't like a bulb retailer that receives its bulbs from elsewhere all packed and dried and knowing exactly the quantities they are getting. I no longer allow visitors to the nursery. Honestly, there isn't much to see, just greenhouses full of pots of bulbs, most of which are not blooming (depending upon the time of year). I get more and more requests to 'see the nursery' and I just can't accommodate visitors, it is too disruptive to my day. If this all makes me sound unfriendly, I am sorry. The only way I can get the work done is to work uninterrupted all day. My day starts at 4am (yes, it does!), and I often work until evening, taking a break in the afternoon to train my dogs. I am not complaining, I love my bulbs and my business, I am just trying to explain and fend off more "if you can't be bothered to answer .." kind of comments. Yes, I get plenty of those, some even worse. For all (and that is most) of my wonderful patient customers, my deepest thanks. Diana Telos Rare Bulbs http://www.telosrarebulbs.com/
