It has been about 25 years since I ordered from Breck's and at that time their service and quality of bulbs was excellent. I am sorry to hear they have gone the way of a lot of companies...downhill.

My bulbs did terribly this year. This is only my second year of planting so I just assumed I did something wrong, but is it possible the hot cold hot cold weather was wrong for bulbs? I had four tulip bulbs that I meant to move last summer. I dropped them in a bucket and forgot about them. There was still a handful of dirt around them and in Februaryish I discovered the bulbs had started growing, knotted together, and were sprouting through the snow. So, I planted them. They grew happily for about a week and then weathered. In that time the weather kept getting hot and cold. I thought it was my planting that did it, but it seems the same happened to my other bulbs which were starting to come up.
