Miniature Bulbs orders
« on: September 06, 2014, 06:22:38 AM »
Has anyone received bulbs from Miniature Bulbs this year? I've sent emails asking about delivery dates but no answer

Sadly still no reply from Miniature Bulbs. I've emailed, phoned the land line, phoned and text the mobile number

They're attending the AGS Loughborough Show ,Mark, so perhaps you can get some to tackle them there to find out what their communication problems are?

By coincidence I got an email yesterday saying my order was going in the post today. Better late than never but there's now nowhere in the greenhouse for the bulbs. Next summer the third plunge has to have the pots reduced from 15cm to 11cm

I no longer order from them, Mark. They don't carry much that I haven't already got/want, I've had mis-named plants from them and then no reply when I've contacted them about it. There are enough good suppliers out there who better deserve the custom.

Perhaps - though I remember getting nice fat bulbs which all turned out to be full of virus.
