Susan Band's Pitcairn Alpines : http://www.pitcairnalpines.co.uk/ (http://www.pitcairnalpines.co.uk/) will re-opens the online shop on 1st April - something to look forward to! Susan writes that the winter has been kind to the bulbs and many are flowering well at the moment.
Many forumists have written in these pages of their satisfaction with bulbs and plants received from Pitcairn. I'm one of them!

Birthday of the present Mrs Smart. For her birthday, and to thank her for 30+ years of forebearance (anniversary a few days later) I shall treat myself to some bulbs.

Ah! that's a Yorkshireman for you ;D

And now it is nearly four in the afternoon of the 1st and because of unexpected visitors, I've not been near the Pitcairn site - is there anything left do you think ?

I visited the site at 6 in the morning and 3 items from my shopping list was already sold out. You have to be fast when buying from a site like Pitcairn known for quality bulbs, good service and reasonable prices.

Well the postman woke me up! In my daze I wondered what snowdrop was being delivered as I couldn't remember ordering one and, to my great delight, my eyes focussed on a box from Susan Band ;D ;D

My postie must be later than yours Brian. Caught mine as I was leaving the house yesterday and he was holding a box from Pitcairn's. Beautifully packaged, great bulbs and already in their pots :)
-
This is my home for the next month. ;)
Glad the orders are beginning to get through. Hopefully the postal service can read Austria instead of Australia this year >:(

A prison cell Susan!
Where's the kettle and surround sound system? :o :o :o

Good idea, just sent Addie for the iPod

Glad to see Brian, that you recognize that life is more than snowdrops. :)

I have to say what a joy it is to shop with Sue Band! We awoke this morning to find the postman had already been and left two parcels in the greenhouse. I was puzzled as I was only expecting one book. What a great start to the day though as one of them was my order from Pitcairn Alpines, then there was the frantic brainwork trying to remember what I had ordered before I opened the box to find beautifully packed bulbs. Thanks Sue ;D ;D
