I can recommended Peter Nyssen - Anglia bulbs and Lidl you be lucky to get any from Lidl now they sell like hot cakes .
The bulb size you can get from Anglia bulbs are excellent, a little bit dear than peter nyssen though, but excellent bulbs. Peter nyysen good for buying large quantity and have many variety's, I bought Irene parrot and Victoria secret tulips from PN I am going to plant them together.
I haven't planted any yet so if you want any pictures Wakeshine of size and quality I am happy to help.
Hi Perki okay please msg me pics of bulb sizes although they all seem quite similar i.e. 11-12cm? I will dash to lidl asap in the morning to see what's left lol!! I don't think they will have dreamland, innuendo, havran, Arabian mystery or happy generation but it's worth a try I guess. Also, I'm going away and not back until mid Nov - will the bulb planting be able to be delayed until then?
Yes all similar size, 11cm + for lidl and peter nyysen tulips I ve got are 11/12 or 12/13. Lidl premium quality bulbs have black labels normally priced £1.69 each or 2 for £3, its worth a look even if they dont have the variety's you want.
I am having a not-so good experience with another 'guy' at the moment, not with spring bulbs though. Been going on for a while. But I will wait a few months and see how the situation pans out before posting on here.
Kelways vs Claire Austin for bare root peonies - anyone had any experience with either of these vendors? I can't decide who to go with.. Latter is a tad cheaper so I may go with that but I heard Kelways are very established.

Thanks for the measurements Perki. All the Wilko ones I got were 11/12.
Lidl were all sold out of bulbs yesterday...

No bulbs left in my Lidl, but they did have some lovely heather for 89p each - purple and white.

Hmm I guess not. Decided to go with Claire Austin as I can't justify spending the Kelways prices.
