Yeah, that ‘wax thing’ is ridiculous, but I’ll bet for a VERY Novice Gardener, it’s a god-send.

Also, when people can’t keep their bulbs from year to year, you can always sell them another one the following year. ;)

Marketing 101...which also drives me mad at times, LOL!

True but the wax ones I’ve seen are all small bulbs. Might not even get one bloom.

One cat shelter completed & delivered. He peeked inside briefly, so maybe he'll use it. He was trying his best to get into the house, but when that doesn't happen (and it won't), he'll either use the shelter or be very cold - his choice. At least I don't have to worry about my cousin falling down the stairs at 3 in the morning.
