The supply chain mess has hit LWV Denver's bulbs! Our bulbs are in the US and we hope to see them in Denver on October 22. Our supplier has been working hard to keep us updated and to make sure that our bulbs arrive as quickly as possible. He also tells us that he has been recommending that bulbs be planted as late as Thanksgiving week to avoid the warm spells that we tend to get in September and October.
- Please contact your customers and let them know that we anticipate delivery the week of October 25. Our bulbs, direct from Holland, and delivered in temperature and humidity controlled transport, are the highest quality available and well worth the wait.
- Be ready to pick up your orders that same week. You will be notified when they're ready for pickup.
The amaryllis will be later, arriving in Denver the last week in October. Those who ordered amaryllis will get them a little later than your other bulbs.
