| I have a yard full of clearance plants and always will. I just can't pass up a .25 6 pack! |

| Boo hoo. I don't know if it's just the Home Depot we frequent, or a Massachusetts law, or chronically bad timing, but the HD always seems to be able to sell things back to the grower if unsold. I WAS going to go Easter Monday for lilies, but I seem to have forgotten. Thanks for feeding my obsession, though, Sally! |

| Oh, I'm not worried about how they'll do. We just have to get Lowes on our circuit. |

| Thanks for reading- I'm glad my 'secret' is way out already. I was 'watching' fall bulbs and I heard that some guy snapped up the big remainder when they hit 75 percent off! I guess stores policies vary. carrie- hope you do get a Lowes- I like them better to be honest, besides all the clearance. |

| I got some fall bulbs at 90% off last year. Our store never labeled them past 50% off and someone just happened to tell me. As a result, I had a good 100 dafs to plant in the fall. Sometimes clearance is not a good thing  |

| The clearance plants will spoil you too. My husband came home with a Ixora last weekend (so sweet!) I looked at the tag and wanted to balk. $16 for a plant! I didn't tell him that got the same plant for only $1 during the winter. He was so proud of himself for getting me something he thought I didn't already have. For $16 I could have got a whole bed full, LOL |
