AUGIS BULBS
« on: May 10, 2011, 07:45:19 PM »
Last year I ordered some stuff from Augis' Bulbs (Eugenijus Dambrauskas) and would like to do the same this year. Only his 2010 Catalogue is available on-line and he doesn't appear to answer emails-does anyone know anything?

That's what Augis wrote to me three weeks ago.

This season is very late in Lithuania and at present we have a lot of jobs in garden.The December was very snowy (more than 0,8 m snow level on unfrosted soil ) and ved very suitable for rodents - after snow melting in January I have found a lot of holes and remains corms. bulbs,roots on beds of Crocus, Corydalis, Tulipa...Seems that I have lost almost all collection of Autumn flowering Crocus, Siberian Corydalis and much of others... The picture and situation in my garden is very sad. I was forced to stop creation of my website, but I hope to do it in a month or two when I'll know what I have....

Quite a sad situatuion. So I hope that at the end of May or beginning of June his website will be updated and new 2011 catalogue will be published.

Dear me, that is bad news for the poor man to have such damage to his bulbs by the rodents over winter. So much snow over unfrozen ground must have been heaven for the pests.

I have not had plants from Leonid Bondarenko but I have heard from many friends/forumists over the years who are happily growing  plant/ bulbs from him.
There are dozens of references to his bulbs through the forum.

Did you answer someone of the forum? But we all gave you a report for your question! Bondarenko is OK, you can believe it.

Kasun, Leonid Bondarenko is probably on some mountain or digging up the bulbs on his farm at the moment, It is only three days since you asked, When did you send him your order?
