Sounds like a good selection... I hope you find the bulbs you want! Our local "high end" garden center had the same bulbs as last year... the only difference was the Papilio bulbs at $12, which I thought was fairly cheap.

The movie sounds very interesting... but since I don't get control of the remote on fight nights, we'll be watching UFC... apparently, there's an important match on tonight. Yippee. Don't get me wrong... I like UFC, myself, but every once in a while, it'd be nice to watch something educational! We've been following the UFC since it aired its first match, and it's fun stuff to watch... but like other sports, it can get to be too much after a while!

Kristi,

30 varieties in stock...WOW!!!

You are so lucky to live in the vicinity of such a nursery.

Have a blast, and don't forget to tell all.

P.S. I don't have a television. Otherwise, I think that would have enjoyed the movie. Maybe it will be released on DVD.

After having been in clinical research for 25 years, I thought the movie was pretty well done and did a good job of educating what it's really like. Of course, as I sat on the couch (friend who monitors research studies was sitting across the room) I'd "erupt" with a "THEY'D NEVER DO THAT!!" every now and then....where' the technical advisor, etc! I cried over the chairs that gradually sat empty in the infusion room as some women succumbed to their cancers, I hooted and rooted for women to get treatment. I was shocked by the cold demeanor of some of the doctors (even though I know THEY are out there) and I clapped over the small victories. (This is how I really am too!). Being in research you can be a "people person" and you really care about all of the patients that you interact with, for without them, your work means nothing, or you can be cold and block it out (not me!). Then...there are the rare UBERJERKS (Karl Reinhardt was portrayed as one in the movie and I hope that he's fiction because he's going to get some nasty letters!!) that are cold, harsh, and uncaring. Maybe in cancer research it's a coping mechanism because it's really only been the last 10 years that we've made huge strides in treatmen, and women who show up with advanced cancer do have options that didn't exist prior to 1998. The drugs that were represented in the movie last night (monoclonal antibodies) really are A MIRACLE....I thought the movie was worth viewing.

I THINK IT MIGHT BE ON AGAIN TONIGHT...an hour earlier!
:-) HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY!!

Here is a link that might be useful: link to movie info

And what happened to the 30 varieties?

Greetings Soultan!

I think that Kristi lucked out and found (among other treasures) a huge President Johnson with many offsets. The local stores in my area have zilch of interest.

I hope that you will be kind to our eyes by posting some of your wonderful photographs as soon as you have blooms.

Best,

Blanca

I bought 8 varieties. My biggest President Johnson is sending up 2 scapes (the other is still sleeping) and has at least 3 offsets sprouting on the side. This is going to be a great year for sharing!!!

Sweet! I so wish that the stores in my area would order in some bulbs of interest! But, it's always the same fare... the 3 most common, and a few others if you're lucky enough to find them... I don't know why the interest isn't here.
