This Week in Wildflower Gardening

It's that time of year. And this fall, we have a wide selection of Amaryllis bulbs and indoor growing kits. You can pot up your own, or use our boxed kits--it's up to you. Along with the red and bi-colored favorites, this year we also have luscious salmon-colored "Exotica" (shown left), and also the one named for the Dutch Royal Family, "Orange Sovereign". There are double amaryllis this year, and of course, fragrant paperwhites--alone on in a full kit. So don't delay. Order yours while they're all 25% off. The single amaryllis bulbs are only 10.46, and the full kits with pot and soil are only $2 more. Send them now through October, and they'll be in bloom by Christmas!

It's fall, and all gardeners are thinking about bulbs. We have a wonderful selection at AmericanMeadows.com, but if you're anything like me, you are clicking around and fascinated by all the photos. If you don't, you should know about Old House Gardens, a fantastic site devoted to "heirloom" plants and bulbs. At this time of year, they have ancient daffodils and tulips for sale--magnificent old varieties available nowhere else. They're not cheap, but they shouldn't be. Some of these beauties have been around since 1200 or so. Some of them are the stars of the famous Tulipomania during the 1600s. They're all very rare. And all very very beautiful. Enjoy!
