Au Beau Pre opened up for US sales

I had been ogling them in the fall with the understanding they may not export this year. I'm sad US got second pick, but happy it opened at all. It's nice to get Vian 2 to Tango.

KitCMC I saw that! 🤩

bloomhjelm I wish it had been sooner, too! Hopefully next year there is US shipping from the get go.

Any insights on how to order to the US from Au Beau Pre? I don't see a way to order a phytosanitary certificate and their website still says they don't ship US.

blown_dry the phyto certificate was added automatically for me when my address was populated by ShopPay on the payment page

janell What is the difference between Cafe Au Lait and Coffee with Milk?

blown_dry

Sweet! Thank you. Gotta love that "coffee with milk." It's a special favorite of Ted's. 😉

janell

blown_dry it was not a random selection 😉

blown_dry

Absolutely nothing.

Got my first order from Connell’s. They are really great people. Always good tubers and they refunded shipping when I told Shea not to lol. Now gonna be potting up some once the pots I ordered get in as that's where they will grow all season sunk in ground 2 gal pot tubers.

Hopeful for 2024

I'm finally at the point where most openings won't have something I'm looking for. After six months of shopping. Thank God.

Sometimes though I'll find something I didn't know I needed. Yesterday I ordered Bull's Pride out of sheer curiosity.

Also my Misses Amy tubers are here from Peace of Heaven Flower Farm! The last reasonably priced farm in the world at $6 each. And they're beautiful.

Wow, is that how all places priced their tubers a decade ago? I can't remember that far. That's refreshing. (Connell's is pretty affordable, too.)

Glad to see some appreciate reasonable pricing. Most subscribe to the current philosophy: "whatever the market will bear", given the work involved in growing and marketing tubers for sale.

bloomhjelm

BarryO I'm buying tubers at all price points but I already pre-grieve the delightful $30 tubers which are "limit 1" and will surely be the ones the voles eat or cats dig up.

How do they always know???

WanderingDahlias

blown_dry I did last year and the tubers were great but quite large. They were also generous in that several had a couple viable tubers together.

blown_dry

WanderingDahlias Awesome! that's a tremendous turn-around from my last order.
