    It usually takes me close to a month with their normal shipping option, I'm not sure if that's accurate for anyone else though

  • 10 years ago

    Did anyone else use the expedited shipping?

  • 10 years ago

    On Nov 4 they sent me an email saying my order was "complete" and gave me a list of what I should receive.. They said nothing about when they would be shipping but I assumed it would be soon (??)

  • 10 years ago

    Donna I got that email to. It says on their website the next shipping date will be around Nov 16th. Hopefully we will get bulbs next week or shortly after. I'm not sure how long it will take them to get here.

    Lucky you. Still waiting.

    Josh, did you use the expedited shipping?

  • 10 years ago

    Congratulations Josh! That's good news as it means the rest are on their way! I have a P. O. box # and for some reasons in past years that seemed to confound the delivery. But this year it's early and no freezing temps to worry about for the time being! Donna☺☺

    Hi Josh

    Would you please give us a report on the condition of the bulbs you received?

    After last year's multiple fiascos, many of us are feeling wary and trepidatious.

    Many thanks,

    Blanca

    Kristi, I didn't opt for the expedited shipping, but I did get them much quicker than in the past!

    Donna, thanks! I'm thankful for the warmer November thus far, if only it would stay this way.

    Blanca, here are some pictures of my bulbs. Good size on all of them, but they seem like they've been grown a bit rough. My 'Misty' has some spots that concern me a bit, but we'll see. I pulled off all of the dried, crispy roots, FYI

    Thank you so much Josh!

    Some of them do look like they will need TLC!

  • 10 years ago

    Doorbell just rang. Mine are here too! Assessing each. Will post in a few.....

    Only Moscow and Pink Glory have tips of scapes showing, so will pot those up in the morning.

    Apparently someone heard my comment about RVR...I now have several.

    VERY PLEASED, CLEAN BULBS!!

    Blanca, anything for you!

    Kristi, I'm glad you received your bulbs, none of mine have scapes appearing yet, I've left them out to dry for a day or so. I'm glad you're pleased with your bulbs, I'm happy with mine as well, I'm sure they'll be fine. My 'Misty' looks like quite the proud mother with all the removed offsets :)

    Here are the 3 I potted up this morning. Others went into the fridge for staggered blooms.

    Josh and Kristi your bulbs look great!! Hope mine arrive soon too....☺☺

    kristi: was there a purpose for the baseball other than a size comparison … perhaps covertly to a 'royals' world series win and bulbs from 'royal' colors … or is that all co-inky-dink?

  • 10 years ago

    Very coinkydink. I have my calibrated baseball, tennis ball, golf ball and coke can for size comparison. Growing up for a few years in KC....maybe it was subliminal!

  • 10 years ago

    gotta love kc … always enjoy the 2 hr drive south to visit

  • 10 years ago

    My box of happiness arrived today. Plus an e-mail from White Flower Farms saying my order would be delivered by the end of next week. I received an order from Komoriya Nursery in Japan in three days. I don't know how they do it.

    Mine arrived Fri in nice shape. 2 with just start of scapes. No rot on the bulbs. I ordered a mother bulb of Jewel- nice big bulb with small tips of 2 scapes. This makes me happy as I do love Jewel! I hope to soon (well it'll be a bit) be indulging myself with the fragrance and beauty of that one. Some I ordered are bulbs I've had and lost, also ordered a couple I haven't had before. All were nice sized and sturdy. Presents indeed!!!

    My bag of bulbs arrived today and they are beautiful; large and no signs of rot anywhere!!








    Three or four of these were replacements, and even though I had ordered one Evergreen they decided I should have another! Just WFF left now and those are coming next week. ☺☺☺Donna

    My Maguire order from Sweet Dream Amaryllis is supposed to be here on Wednesday. I will report on how it all turns out.

    Exciting few weeks for all of us when those boxes of bulbs arrive!!!☺☺☺Donna

  • 10 years ago

    Donna your bulbs are beautiful. I still haven't got mine yet. I hope they come Monday!

  • 10 years ago

    They will!!! ☺☺☺

  • 10 years ago

    My White Flower Farm bulbs just arrived and they are huge, firm, and perfect and also have roots!! I had originally ordered 4 but along the way they said they were out of one and cancelled my order for which ever bulb it was, I can't even remember now!

    I received a Double Delicious, a Fantasy (Gervase) and Santiago. I think the rest of you will receive yours soon if not today and I know they will look just as good! This has been an exemplary year for the quality of bulbs, I only wish that we had had some special exotics to look forward to... well,


    maybe next year. That's it for me for this year. I didn't even go to my favorite nursery as I'm full up again!!

    I got my box from RC today. It's my first order from this company and I must say I'm very pleased. The bulbs are beautiful. They are a nice size and no sign of rot. Now I wish I would have ordered more from here!!!!!

    I received my second order from RC today including a free Daphne and 2016 amaryllis calendar. My WFF is scheduled for Friday and my Maguire's order is supposed to be here on Wednesday. Happy days, but a lot of planting for me.

    Ray...more rain here Thursday through Sunday (at least). Why is it only raining out the weekends and now my 4-day holiday??

  • 10 years ago

    My side yard is finally drying out where I can work there. Now more rain this weekend. When will it quit?

  • 10 years ago

    July?

  • 10 years ago

    I finally potted up my bulbs! Luckily I have an Exotic Star and Appleblossom blooming, and Desire as well as another AB nearing bloom that will tide me over, but I can't wait to see Rio Negro, it is one I've never had

  • 10 years ago

    My Maguire order came from Sweet Dream Amaryllis Nursery. The bulbs are very nice. Large and in good shape. Plus they send one free one of their choice with every five bulbs you order. Remember to download the order form and send it to them. The postage is messed up on their web page. I got a variety called Kathy that I cannot find anything about it. If anyone knows this variety and has a picture of it, I would appreciate if it was posted. Thanks.

    Hi Ray,

    It took awhile, but I finally found 'Kathy' for you.

    Here she is.

    Best,

    Thanks Blanca. You always come through.
