In The Mailbox: Annie's Annuals and Perennials

Here's a catalog I've seen mentioned but have never gotten in the mail: Annie's Annuals and Perennials. 

Based in Richmond, California, they must be in full spring bloom right now.  Wouldn't that be lovely?

Some things like Gomphrena (!) are apparently perennial there, but for us always annuals.  Pricing in general seems to be $8.00-$10.00 +    There may be things I have never been able to grow I'd like that I could justify as a "select variety" of annual.  It's certainly a welcome diversion at this time of year.

In The Mailbox: Brent and Becky's Summer Flowering Bulb Catalog 2020

What better place to start your summer bulb dreaming than with Brent and Becky's catalog?  I'm still not recovered from all the digging that went on in my vegetable garden last year, and pershaps this isn't the year to get back to bulbs....but I'm in the mood.



   

I'd like to try Japanese Painted Fern again.

  

Caladiums look good anywhere you place them.  



I have a weakness for Begonias, and one they list, "Harmony's Fire Woman"  is purple and lavender, rather than the red you'd expect from the name.

In The Mailbox: Territorial Seed Company


I'm giving a post to each of the new seed and plant catalogs as they arrive.  I've scanned the covers and what's new for 2020 for each to give you an idea of what is offered.

There's a link to the company site in each article (scheduled posts so there's something new each day).   You'll also find links on the sidebar.

I'm including here companies I've ordered from myself and liked.
Happy Dreaming!
