New Line of Daffodils

November

The new Spring Forward collection of daffodils from a company called Colorblends offers a pair of bloomers that look positively luscious together.

Forty percent of the profits from the Spring Forward line will go to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, the national nonprofit group dedicated to finding treatments and cures for spinal cord injury and improving the lives of people living with paralysis.

One of the deer-resistant daffodils is a vibrant yellow with a broad orange cup. The other is a double with soft yellow petals interspersed with flecks of reddish orange. Daffodils like sunny, well-drained sites.

The company specializes in bulk quanities of bulbs from the Netherlands at discount prices. For more information, visit the Colorblends Web site or call 888-847-8637. Prices for the Spring Forward bulbs start at 25 for $25.

Has anyone ordered from Colorblends? Their stuff looks good, so do the prices.

I just placed a huge bulb order yesterday with Van Bourgondien’s in Virginia. I’ve had good luck with them before (and I get the wholesale catalog).

Their Web site is good, but I almost always just call directly (800-622-9997) when I’m ready to order. That way I can quickly find out what’s sold out (the problem with being a procrastinator) and move toward second and third choices on my list.

Yvonne Lynn of the Morsemere Garden Club in Yonkers sent me an email about Colorblends:

“Morsemere Garden Club has been ordering bulbs from Colorblends as a fund raiser for the last three years. They have a special for fundraisers. Their bulbs are wonderful. I met the owner in Holland a few years ago at the bulb museum, and he gave me a catalogue and told me his office was located in Greenwich, Ct. I have recommended Colorblends to many people I know.”

Thanks Yvonne. I’ll have to try them on my next order.
