Title: New Avon Bulbs Listing
Post by: Blonde Ingrid on January 18, 2016, 09:21:52 AM
My AT tells me that the latest Avon Bulbs listing has just gone live!

The usual new and many sought after varieties, available on:

Ones that you haven't got surely?

Unfortunately, Brian, my garden does not have the spare capacity for all the snowdrops in the Avon Bulbs catalogue, let alone all the others that aren't.  However I was still tempted to place a small order.

Then the ones that are new are the ones that cost the most!

Yes, Brian, that's usually the way.  But you don't find out the cost until you click for details and that's a lot of clicking.  I was just curious to know if anyone could identify the ones that had not been listed hitherto.  They've probably sold out by now anyway.

All the more reason to order at least once from them as you then get sent the catalogue automatically in future years...and I shouldn't think that many are sold out yet, they do have good stocks. ;)

Dear  Alan,

The ones that are definitely New are Phantom,  Tryzm, and I think Polar Bear. I' m not sure about Big Eyes.

Kind regards, Martina

Phantom and Tryzm are still available, unfortunately the other two are sold out now, but if you want to order do remember that they will deliver them to any sales they are attending that you might be going to like Harveys.

Phew I was lucky then  ;)

I was intrigued by the description of 'Polar Bear' and, encouraged by the modest price, managed to buy one before they sold out.  Thanks for posting the link, Ingrid.

That's good, you should get the catalogue each year now.

A very smart-looking catalogue it is too.
