Source of bulbs...
 
Hi All,
anyone got any good online bulb (the plant type!) retailers? (or even
catalogue mail order) I've found a few but they're a bit hit and miss. I'm
looking for something with a good range and decent pictures as I'm after
some new ideas!!
I quite fancy growing some unusual bulbs...

Thanks,
Matthew

Try Googling for Bressinghams. They sell a lot of bulbs from van Tubergen
who we use commercially and find very good.

Found them!
You can order from Van Tubergen direct, they run a mail order bulb
business. Perhaps you'll need to learn Dutch first :-)

Do you know where Van Tubergen are located, Sacha?
They are probably just up the road from us if they are in Zuid Holland


Our bulbs now come via Bressingham so that's the address on the catalogue we
have. But I *think* van Tubergen are in Haarlem, IIRC.
I particularly recommend the Tulips called Angelique and Couleur Cardinal.
