Oddly, I do want to know. I’m racking my brain trying to think of saucy words similar to ‘again’.
For a recommended nursery take a look at Farmyard Nurseries in Carmarthen. Carrying a smaller range, so little use to @Jack1974 but maybe beneficial to others, is the brilliant Tortworth Plants in Gloucestershire.
Not plant,but I bought sail blinds for a conservatory roof from Primrose,they took 5 months,I would never use them again (you DONT want to know what phone typed instead of again!!!)
I have used Primrose twice in the past 5 years and never had a problem with them. Admittedly not for plants but for timber compost boxes ( which have also made excellent raised beds ) and a timber potting bench. Even my order just a couple of months ago was delivered on time.
The allium and ornithogalum are bulbs, and the time is just right to be looking at bulb catalogues and getting your order in. If you want large-ish quantities for impact, I've had good stuff from J. Parkers Wholesale - and they have 3 types of ornithogalum listed https://www.dutchbulbs.co.uk/c-sa/other-miscellaneous-bulbs/3/ (other suppliers are of course available).
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Good stuff @Jack1974 - that'll keep you out of bother for a while
Burncoose is very reliable, so that's great you had a good result. Primrose [like Crocus] is just a retail outlet, which isn't quite the same thing either. A nursery will always be a better source, and most have good customer care too.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@Jack1974. I do hope we get to see them when they are all in place in your garden. Hope the weather allows you to do that as soon as possible. Have googled Burncoose and am impressed. Slightly more expensive than most but worth the extra to get that service and quality.
We visited Burncoose Nursery one year when we were in Cornwall ... we were very impressed ... a real plantsman/woman's nursery ... definitely nothing like a generic Garden Centre ... and all the staff we spoke to there seemed to really know their stuff.

They had most of my list, I ordered the plants Friday morning, and they arrived Saturday morning!
Beautifully and safely packed, and all the plants were in excellent condition and size.
That is me now sorted for future online buying.
