Brent and Becky's has a great selection, and they also have large mixes and collections. If I was going to plant that many I'd be thinking about some of their mixes of Daffodils, one called spectrum mix, and another breeders mix. They have large mixed collections of tulips, and other mixes of different bulb species in the same offers.

There is also Michigan bulb. They have not as large a selection but are another good company.

Becks has a good sale in the fall. I don't know what your zone is, but, for me the emperor tulips come back for a few years while the fancier bulbs are practically an annual.I am in zone 6. I have had a few parrots live for 15 years but they are very expensive.

If you are not picky and have a Costco near you, you can buy that many for not very much money.

Big box store do carry good bulbs for a good value. The Dutch importers definitely have better bulbs.

Try hollandbulbfarms.com

They have BEAUTIFUL flowers with lots of selection, and they run a deal every week! A few weeks ago they had a deal on 100 daffodil bulbs for like $40!! That's not quite half price! You can get 500 daffodil bulbs from them for $162 right now. (Of course... those are just the regular yellow daffodils.)

Hope that helps!

(And welcome btw... don't know if you'd been welcomed anywhere else... I just came back from an extended "vacation" from the boards)
