Welcome to the fall 2010 Odyssey Bulbs catalog (you can enter the catalog proper through the links to your left).   Whether you're a sweaty-palmed bulb addict seeking this year's fix, or a relative novice looking for something beautiful and different for your garden, we believe you'll find much to interest you here.   Among the new temptations are more than half a dozen cultivars of that endlessly varied and beguiling woodlander, Corydalis solida; a pair of Solomon's seals, both worth singing about; a couple ornithogalums, including the arguably yellow-flowered O. pyrenaicum var. flavescens; the most glorious of the snow glories, Chionodoxa forbesii 'Zwanenburg'; and a raft of tulips.   As delighted as we are to offer these and other delectable newcomers, we also rejoice in the many worthies that make yet another appearance in these pages (Leucojum vernum ssp. carpathicum is bound to go quickly, for one).   And a few old but lately absent friends make their joyous return, including Crocus fleischeri and several anemones.   Feel free to go crazy.

We also invite you to indulge a friend (or yourself) with an Odyssey Bulbs gift certificate.  Not only will you be enabling addictive behavior of the best sort – you'll also have the satisfaction of knowing that you're supporting a shoestring micro-nursery, which in our opinion should be a deductible expense (and goodness knows, we can't have too many of those these days).

On a more mundane note: also making its Odyssey Bulbs debut this year is a new payment process.   Because of the ever-increasing costs and complications of handling credit card orders ourselves, we are now routing all credit transactions through PayPal.   We hope this works for all of us.   Let us know if it doesn't work for you.

Wishing you every garden success and a dazzling spring (and summer and fall and winter!).
