| I was looking for a source for 'Tiny Padhye' lily. One of my favorite sellers Chris from Hallson's garden sold them out. By googling that cultivar's name, I discovered a new online seller. They have relatively low prices. The site has a little confusing navigation IMO, but their selection is amazing - new bi-color hybrids and double Orientals just blew me away.
Check this out: Bi-color Asiatics
They also have some nice Orienpets and LO.
Although I thought I did not need more Lilies, I just placed my order. :) Could not resist... I am NOT affiliated with any seller. I just think that this info might be interesting for Lily addicts like me :o) I just received an email that my order has been shipped. If anyone is interested, I can report about the quality of the bulbs after I receive them. |

| Thanks for the site. The Orientals are 10.00. If that is for one bulb it seems high. Are their prices per bulb? |

| Thanks alina, Yes, would love to hear about the quality of the bulbs as I have recently developed a fondness for the wonderfully fragrant Orientals. The Orientals are 10.00. If that is for one bulb it seems high. Are their prices per bulb? Sue |

| I got my order yesterday! Overall, I am very pleased. All bulbs are profecionally packed in foil perforated bags with pictures of lilies. The bags are filled with wet peat moss, so they can be kept in these bags for some time in a cool place. The bulbs are plump and fresh. They have fleshy, not dry roots. I was buying Lilies from all major American online lily sellers. Sometimes, even lilies from very reputable sellers had some rot. These do not. The size of most of the bulbs is as advertised: Sizes of our bulbs The most expensive double Oriental "roselily" Emma are on a smaller side, definitely less than 18 cm. I guess that is because they are so new. I took several scales off before planting them to get some bulblets... The dwarf 'After Midnight' are huge! Definitely more than 18 cm. As for quantity, Sue is right. It seems that all of them are offered in quantities of 3. At least, 'Tiny Sensation' and 'Roselily Emma' were 3 bulbs per bag (no quantity mentioned on the web site). They said that I was their first online customer and added bonus bulbs because of this. Orienpet 'Eudoxia' (bonus) was just one bulb in its bag, so it might make sense to ask. Also, when you check out, they add a small fee for using PayPal ($0.95). I did not find any info about shipping cost, but in my invoice there is a line Personally, I do not like hidden charges. In this case, the total was very reasonable, so I am OK with this. |

| Thank you. I looked and didn't see the 3 bulb quantity. Here I come!! Love Orientals! Of course need a few more Asiatics. |

| Guys, if you never had Orienpets, try them! The fragrance is more delicate than Orientals have, not that overwhelming. The flowers are huge, the stalks are so strong! I have all Lily types, but Orienpets are my favorite now. I hope I will manage to save them from deer this year... I made an error in my previous post: I meant Oriental 'After Eight', not 'After Midnight' which is an Echinacea actually :) |
