OT: Peruvian Daffodils

17 years ago

Whom was looking for these? I came across them while out shopping today. They had them 3 bulbs for $3.50, white and yellow. Do I need to go pick some up??

    pagrdnr, glad you spoke up as I'm a little behind due to a sick friend. I planted the white ones we picked up and I stand corrected there was 2 huge bulbs not 3! I had a hard time getting them into a 6 inch pot! I was also shocked to see 2 types of Ranunculus and some elephant ears too. 3 types of peonies and some other bulbs I need to look up. These were all on the lower shelf so I had to get on my knees to check them out. Let me know as these weren't at Wally's World.

    Karma sounds like you had a great time and found great huge bulbs.

    Hello Karma,
    Do peruvian daffodils grow from seeds?

  • 17 years ago

    givelittle_getlots, I went to get tissues and came out with bulbs! DH thought they were awesome looking so it appears we will be going back for others. See I hate this time of year!

    siam_cannas, if I can get seeds I will make sure to save them to pass your way. Keep those toes crossed.

    ~~~~Heads Up~~~~ I'll be going back over to the shop on Sunday if anyone needs these. DH wants to see the yellow ones and I want to get some more Ranunculus. I'll check in before I head over there.

  • 17 years ago

    Karma at least did you get the tissues too? Then it is ok ha ha ha
    I am glad DH was with me at Lowes. NO Plant shopping with HIM lol and it was way to cold and windy.

    But it sure makes your heart beat a LOT faster when you see ALL THOSE BLOOMING PLANTS lol

    Have fun Karma. Oh and I love Ranunculus. First year I planted 2. First I bought the yellow with redish tint and got me another white one later on. I think they are so pretty.

    I went back this am and I'm glad I did, the whites were all gone and they only had a couple yellows left. Rosepedal, got you covered, will send them off on Monday.
    I'll send you one of my white and a yellow. I know just how fast these go when they get stuff in, especially at this price.

  • 17 years ago

    Wow Karma that is s great price..Thank you doing that for me. Just let me know how much I owe for the bulbs and shipping and I will get it right out....Thank Karma Barb

    Dang, out of the whites. If they still have the yellow next time you go please pick me up a pack and let me know how much I owe you. Thanks.

    pagrdnr, I have my two if you would like them. The clerk said I should check the other shop in east county to see it they still had them. I was shocked to find only one bulb in the yellow so they must be harder to grow. Where there were two of the white. I'm headed out to check the other shop so I'll let you know if I find them.

  • 17 years ago

    Hey Shawn, if you aren't able to find them anywhere else, try Dutch Gardens. I've ordered from them before, and was very pleased with the size and quality of the bulbs. Admittedly they are not cheap. They do carry the PD's.

    I just got back and I have two packages for you, pagrdnr.
    Email me and let me know how you want me to ship and the cost. Big smile here!!

    I am so excited to try these. I seen them in a plant magazine they are so pretty. I didnt see the yellow ones in the magazine...I need to go and see how to plant them in their containers...Thanks Karma...

  • 17 years ago

    pagrdnr, yours are ready to be picked up today so they will be on their way!
    Rosepedal, you are so welcome. Package with instructions is enclosed. I had a converstation with the garden person yesterday when I went to the other shop and they just can't keep these in stock so they only put out one box
    at a time. They only carry them for a short time and even they had gotten a couple to try. I have ours in a pot for now as I need to figure out where in the front bed I want these to grow. I want to put them away from the other daffs but close to the house. Now that the others are popping upward I can see where not to put them. Each year we are finding more daffs that haven't popped up before?

  • 17 years ago

    Thanks Karma, send me an email to lmk how much more I owe you!
    I have never grown these beofre either. Did you know they are fragrant? Cant wait to see them bloom!

    pagrdnr, don't worry about it! Just sent off the confirmation number so they are on the way! Yes the package state fragrant so I can't wait. Daphne at the front door may have some company!

    Now rosepedal, I spray for that stuff in the yard?? I just have the plain jane green that has the pink flower.
    The owners prior to my folks planted stuff all over and now that the big tree is gone we are finding stuff pop up where we didn't plant. I found 2 more bunches of daffs yesterday when I was our stirring up the mulch due to what the winter did to it. I have lillies up all ready??

  • 17 years ago

    Karma is there anything you are looking for that I may come across around here?
    You are luck to be finding daffs and stuff popping up! I think I am starting to see some tulips wanting to pop up around here. I can't believe spring is almost here, I never thought it would come. I think we will probably get more snow though. March is supposed to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb but I am wondering if it is going to go out like a lion since it is coming in like a lamb?

    pagrdnr, that is so sweet but have you seen what I posted on the seed starting list and I'm supposed to be slowing down? I found hosta seedling up today but they are saying snow by this weekend again, winter isn't over yet! Enjoy your package!! Post photos when you can get them to bloom, same for rosepedal!!
