Re: bulbmeister

I've purchased from Old House a couple of times, they are a tad expensive
for me with a limited selection.  However, they do carry some nice species
lilies which I got last time and I really like them.  The owners are very
nice and conscientious about making sure their customers are pleased.
We don't get enough sunshine here for freesias, but Sternbergia have done
well. I dig cannas and store in vermiculite.
