Telos has a great selection of rare bulbs at a good price. Just received my first order from them, it shipped quickly, and included some extras. Will surely order from them again and recommend them to anyone interested in the unusual.

This site has an amazing variety of unusual bulbs, and has photos of most of the plants. The prices seem quite reasonable for such exotic stuff, and I ordered over $100 worth of bulbs since I felt comfortable based on the positive reviews in GardenWatchdog. I received the shipment when promised (a lot of the bulbs are for fall delivery), and I received almost everything I ordered (2 bulbs were out of stock, and a refund check was included to reimburse me for these). The bulbs were all clearly packaged and there were planting instructions or extra information provided for many of them. All of the bulbs looked healthy, and Telos even included some extra bulbs in the shipment. I'll definitely be ordering again.

I recently recieved an order from this company; which I put in at the very tail-end of their shipping season. This is an outstanding bulb company--excellent quality and included many extras. The bulbs were all large and expertly shipped. This is probably the best company that I have ever ordered bulbs from and wished I had put in a larger order. They will definitely get repeat business from me next year!

I recently received a second order from this company and am even more pleased with the product and service. If you are a serious bulb collector, this is the best nursery for hard to find species. One should be aware that there are variations in size among different members of the same genus--for instance Lycoris and Crinum; not all species of Lycoris and Crinum have the same size bulbs even at maturity. There are natural variations within a genus and if one is aware of these natural variations--then what you get is quality form this company. I will add bulbs to my collection every year from Telos Rare Bulbs. And the extra bulbs are greatly appreciated and above and beyond the norm.

I ordered only three different types of bulbs, but they were expertly packed and appear very healthy. Telos included 2 free bulbs so that I got 6 of one variety instead of 4! I would definitely order from them again!.

I placed my first order with this company in July of 2005 and was delighted to find that the owner was exceptionally communicative and helpful. The bulbs received were of exceptional quality. I just placed another order with her; I can't wait to receive my new goodies! :-)

Communication with this company was excellent. I received order confirmation emails, and when both of my selections proved unavailable, the owner sent me an email with a list of what was available from my substitution list. Although I received substitutions, they are bulbs I also craved, and they are just beautiful. The Lilium parryi are so gorgeous I almost hate to put them in the ground because I just want to look at the bulbs!

Great bulbs! A few were much larger than I expected, and they even threw in a couple of extras. Everything arrived right on time with their shipping dates. The catalog gave an honest description of what I received. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
