About Marde Ross & Company

For over forty years, I have been interested in flowers and gardening, so it was only natural that that love would spill over into the business of providing flowering bulbs for last twenty eight years. In the early days I grew cut flowers from seed, cuttings, starts and bulbs. I am intimately familiar with everything I sell. My favorite bulbs, roots, and corms for landscaping and decorative seasonal plantings are offered here on this site. In the mid-80’s, I “introduced” the peony to California because of the kind coverage by Sunset Magazine of my own successes, and offered peonies for sale from the inception of my business. Finding ways to grow peonies and other bulbs in warm climates is now my specialty.

As the proprietor of Marde Ross & Company, a distributor of flowering bulbs since 1985, I grow peonies and have a private “daffodil hill” in Glen Ellen, California containing over 160,000 daffodils.

When I first began to advertise my bulbs, I learned the art of closeup photography and used those images of beautiful flowers in a simple catalog. My experience in this area has been useful in my travels to every continent photographing flora, landscape, wide expanses and big, wild animals. Today, I consider myself mainly a landscape photographer.

In 1985 in order to provide flower images for my catalog, I began studying photography. I use Nikon 35 mm and medium format Pentax equipment. And in 1997, after years of flower and garden photography, I began taking workshops from British photographers through the British company, Light and Land, and learned landscape photography with them in several European countries and the U.S., India, Hebrides Islands, Scotland as well as Yosemite, Death Valley and the red rocks of Utah and Arizona.

I traveled to Africa and Asia for wildlife, to Churchill, Canada, for polar bears, and Alaska for grizzlies and have been to all seven continents. Specific trips were made to Japan to catch the Japanese maples in Kyoto and to Giverney, France to photograph Monet’s water lilies on an artist’s day.

In 2004, I went to Alaska and Japan, and took Galen Rowell’s last two workshops using film before his untimely death.

In 2006, I began using digital cameras in Antarctica and traveled to national parks in Chile and Argentina and later that year to Peru for a month. We visited Machu Picchu and the Manu preserve in Amazonia. Upon my return, I took digital printing and editing workshops from Stephen Johnson in Pacifica, California. In 2007 I went India for a month. In 2008, India, Nepal and Bhutan were my destinations with my eldest son. I have made frequent visits to Brazil where my youngest son lived for several years.
