Brent and Becky's Bulbs

The 2011 Spring Bulb Catalog

    I love Daffodils and have been "planting" them since I was a toddler. When they bloom I feel happy and that beautiful sense of new beginnings that is possible with spring. Daffodils also help me feel connected with my family in Southern California because it is another flower my dad grows and shows.
     Ah yes flower shows. I have helped out at so many with staging blooms or as a clerk. When I was younger we would enter as Junior Growers. Going to so many shows means I have met some big names in the business/ hobby. Two years ago I met Brent from "Brent and Becky's Bulbs" at the National show in Murphy's, California. He encouraged me by giving me a card and said get one of their catalogs. You can go the website here https://store.brentandbeckysbulbs.com/  He was so happy to see a "young person" at the show and hoped I would grow my own daffodils once I had some land. It was very encouraging and I learned a lot about his business.
     Now that I do actually have a little bit of land I am memorizing the catalog. It is so tempting to order everything I could dream of for the backyard. But, I am practicing good self control. We simply can not afford for me to buy every daffodil I want. (I want them all). And I would like to try some of the other plants from the catalog like a Tulip, some Anemones, and Muscari that will act as shoes and socks for the daffodils. Oh it's exciting. But these others are risky since they tend to like colder climes.
