I just visited the CNE (canadian national exhibition) today and saw crocus bulbs going for just 35 cents and daffidales for 75 cents a bulb...I just bought two daffidales to try forcing inside...but my REAL question is should I get the crocuses (I might or might not go back next week or so). They weren't saffron crocuses, problem is I forgot the name, but I know it's purple (like that helps a lot!) and I think it said it was fall flowering. So could someone tell me these are worth buying (saffron crocus bulbs at the same booth sold $10 for 8) and hopefull tell me the name?

That is cheap, good thing I didn't buy any...even coverting to $CDN it is still cheaper. TulsaRose, do you remember where you got those bulbs from? I'm tempted to buy them cuz crocuses sell really expensive here in Canada, even at Walmart! So far, that place's the cheapest I've seen in all my years. We're moving really soon, the house is on sale, so I'm trying to stock up on bulbs to plant at the new house so I woun't have to look at a bare front yard in spring!

Costco has a bunch of assorted bulbs from Holland for $11.36. I bought Crocus bulbs (80)and Tulips (50). They also have Irises, Anemones, Daffodils, Water Lilies and Gladioli.
