BULB LIST SUMMER/AUTUMN 2024
Welcome to my new bulb list! Scroll to the end for ordering instructions.
​
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS LIST IS NOW INACTIVE AND THESE BULBS CAN BE ORDERED AGAIN IN SUMMER/AUTUMN 2025
(not all geophytes are bulbs. However for easiness, I mostly call them bulbs in this list)
Prices are in euros and indicate flowering sized bulbs. When (*) is present, then the offered bulbs are not mature and will need a year (or max 2) of further growing before reaching flowering size. Also, naturally, there will be a few species that will refuse to flower after transplanting despite having a mature size.
Listings in blue indicate new or returning species for this year!

I received my bulbs. How to plant them? If you are living in a Mediterranean climate area, it's pretty straightforward. Put them in pots and place them outside in a sunny location. I generally use a mixture of 2 parts peat or coir based compost, 1 part coarse sand or grit and 1 part fine perlite. This mixture provides adequated drainage in my rainy winter climate in my corner of the Mediterranean, essential for most species. I add perlite at the botton of the pot for extra dainage and once the bulbs are planted, I top dress with grit or coarse sand or thin gravel in order to keep the leaves that touch the surface drier and also to make my life easier with weeding. But you want to have your material free from weed seeds in the first place. I don't worry much about depth, 2 or 3 times the length of the bulb will do it. In time, bulbs take their position in depth in your pot, some will stay at the top with necks exposed while others like Ferraria will travel to the very bottom of the pot. I like to keep my bulbs in their pots, even when they are dormant. This preserves water desiccation, that some species are prote to, when exposed to air for long periods of time. So if you receieve your bulbs early, pot them up and let them in a shady spot until watering begins. Nevertheless, most of the bulbs can stay in their paper packages in a cool dry spot, until potting is done in September.
​
Once mid-September arrives, I water the pots and then let the weather do the rest. If it doesn't rain in September or later I water every 5 days or so. Fertilizing lightly every month is advised, especially if you keep your bulbs in the same soil for many years. The plants need ot stay moist during active growing and flowering but once past that, they need to get dry and go dormant. During summer I keep the pots completely dry in a shady spot (to avoid over baking in the sun and to protect them from the occasional summer storm).
​
That above oversimplifies the cultivation of summer dormant bulbs. Each species comes from a particular microclimate with its own specific requirements of soil, sun, nutrition, high and low temperature needs. So wherever you are cultivating those bulbs, try to match their needs as closely as possible. The web is full of information on most of the bulbs in my catalog and moreover you can experiment with the, or as I say, carefully watch them as they grow and respond to their needs, especially when it comes watering, feeding and protecting from low temperatures. As most or what I offer are not you common garden store bulbs and you're ordering from my list, you're probably and experienced bulbs grower and know what to do in most cases.
​
If you climate allows, plant your bulbs in the garden. In a suitable garden spot, geophytes can thrive and propagate much faster than they would do in pots.
​
Will they flower the first year? Most of what is listed here are flowering sized bulbs and will flower the first year they're planted, unless otherwise specified. That is if they are grown well and have their needs met. If you're buying those indicated as younger bulbs that means they most likely will require a year or more of growing before they come into flower.
​
Are the plants I have true to name? I try to keep the naming in my collection correct. There will be a case or two where I have been mistaken, please notify me if something like this happens. Remember that many of the bulbs in my list I propagate from seed and since my collection is quite extensive with many species of each genus, there is the rare occasion that a hybrid might be produced. And this could be either exciting or disappointing, depending on how you want to see it. If for whatever case you are disappointed to do not hesitate to contact me.
​
How to order? That is quite simple. You make a list of what you want and send it either the the form on my Order and Contact page or by email to eldaebay@yahoo.com and don't forget your shipping address!. I'll get back to you as soon as possible with bulb availability for your order and then you can send your payment through Paypal (eldaebay@yahoo.com) or use my Paypal.me page . Other payment options are available, please ask. Please bear with me if I don't reply right away, I'm one person alone involved in dozens of projects and also grow and collect all of my plants by myself, so being above a computer and replying right away is not possible in most cases.
​
IMPORTANT​
​
There is no minimum order but there is an EU shipping fee of 15 euros for tracked service. That cost will cover your bulbs order regardless how big it is (the cost actually goes up after the limit of 500gr. of your parcel, but you can see it as a small discount on your order). Ordering within the EU. If you would like to order outside the EU, please contact me in advance. For the time being I cannot issue Phytosanitary Certificates, also the cost of it here will definitely deter you from ordering.
​
Orders usually take 5-7 working days to reach destinations within Europe. Of course, in a worldwide shipping network, delays and problems could arise, so please cooperate and let me know if there is any problem with your order and I will do my best to solve it.
