We're at 10 participants now, and hope more will sign up- the more the merrier! This is the time to divide those clumps of bulbs, so this is a good way to share the excess and acquire some varieties that may be new to your garden.
RULES:
1.Bulbs must be properly cured (clean and dry).
2.Bulbs must be packed in quantities of 5 or 10 bulbs per package, with the amount and ID (variety name, color, or whatever info you have on the bulbs enclosed) written on the bag. The quantity on the label needs to be the number of blooming sized bulbs enclosed, but extra bulblets and offsets are fine to include too- just don't count them. This will help ensure everyone receives back as many blooming size bulbs as they send, plus baby bulbs that will bloom in a year or two. Send as many bags as you'd like (a few each of several varieties, or all one variety- makes no difference), you'll receive the same number of bulbs in return as you send.
3.Send bulbs in USPS Flat Rate boxes, in whichever size you can fill. You will receive the same size box in return.
4.Enclose postage $ in the same amount as the box you're sending.
5.The deadline to have bulbs to me is August 1. I will have everyone's boxes mailed to them between August 15- September1, depending on how many sign up. My address is in the Address Exchange, or you may dmail me for it.
6.Enclose a list of what you're sending, and a list of colors/varieties/size/etc. you'd like to receive in return. Can't make any promises, but the more that sign up, the better the chances I'll be able to custom pack each recipient's box to suite their tastes.
Here is the list of participants so far:
1.gemini_sage*
