Depends whether you get what you paid for and whether you are dealing with honourable people, as we have discussed before.

Harveys e mailed back very quickly and said i can have the snowdrop now in flower or wait until mid-February as there will be less damage to the plant.

I had a PM telling me that the "Spindlestone Surprise" that were on sale from Harvey's Garden Plants are young bulbs that will not flower until next year at the earliest.  That's a bit disappointing but it's still wasn't a bad price.

[Mavers]

I'm sure on their website, Harveys were selling 'Green Brush' for £25 () a few days ago & £15 on ebay.

Just looked again & Green Brush is now £20 on harveysgardenplants.co.uk.

Most offerings of 'Green Brush' seem to be around £15.

To be fair to Harveys though Mike they were always selling them at £20 and not £25.

The offerings they have on ebay are cheaper than those for sale on their website so I am assuming that the ebay bulbs are not flowering size, but I could be wrong.

[Alan_b]

I don't believe Harvey's are generally noted for their bargain prices or their generosity when it comes to the size of the bulbs they supply.  On the other hand they don't hide behind an "alias" when selling on eBay and I am sure they are reputable.   

[RichardW]

if they aren't flowering bulbs it should be made clear.

I've sent mature flowering bulbs & received tiny bulbs in return and although they might be what they say they are it's still very irritating, I would never buy anything that hadn't already flowered.

[Mavers]

I must have imagined it Sean, perhaps it was snow blindness 

[chasw]

And E.A. Bowles has just made £215

[annew]

At that rate of decrease, I'll be able to afford on in 15 years or so. 

[Maggi Young]

I'd stick with your seed raised cuties, Anne.... they're lovely now  and will probably be all over your garden in 15 years time.....

A very generous lady, who lives up Sheriffmuir, gave me a pot of 'Spindlestone Surprise' inter alia a couple of years ago.
