Hello: I have also tried to search domestic flower bulbs from Japan.(Because the fee of transportation is getting more and more expensive. ) And I found that there are also commercial spring flower bulbs production in northern west Japan. Where have winter monsoon(northern west wind) from sea of japan and summer monsoon(Southern east wind) from inner land mountains. (In the pacific side, the summer monsoon(Southern east wind) is from pacific ocean, while winter monsoon(northern west wind) is from inner land mountain.) And there are also Plum rain and typhoon which affect whole japan from spring to autumn. TOYAMA http://www.tba.or.jp/ NIIGATA http://www.nba-niigata.or.jp/ Su-Hong-Ciao Taiwan
