I just collected a couple handfuls today.

Sorry I can't remember who sent me a request.
Was it you Bobbie in MN?
Too lazy to go through old emails. :-)

I think people were too polite to mention that while they were not the ones you made agreement with they would love to have some. If you have any extras I would be happy to have few. I planted last year tiger lily flore pleno hopefully it will return- love them they such an easy lily to grow and so prolific...

Ellen, Absolutely.
In fact, I can do better. Will dig up some grown bulbs for you for our September swap.

Talking about being polite....I missed out on a lot of fabulous plants from your garden, because I didn't dare ask for them. Then lo and behold, someone else asked and you, being so generous, dug them up and gave them away!! I could not believe my eyes.

......Will that Rheum palmatum be grown enough by Sept to give me a piece? ...lol.... wheedling now....Does it have purple leaves? I was too dazzled with your garden I could not take everything in. :-D

I too was dazzled by Ellen's garden. It was so pretty!
I also did not want to ask her to dig anything up.

pitimpinai, I need to come see your garden in person sometime.... Or you should post some pics again. i saw some others you posted and it was beautiful! I would love to see more.

Thanks, Karen. Those pictures are old. Some are very old.
I was just thinking this morning that you guys could come over right now. The Clematis are in full bloom...and I have over 30. lol. Too bad I am leaving on Friday and won't be back until (hoping) the end of the month. :-D

Thank you for the bulbils! And all the other little goodies! They sure will come in handy.
I lost your email address..silly me I went and deleted the message! SO I am going to ask my question here. Should I plant these out in pots now? Or wait and W/S them this winter? I was thinking I would do it now, since this IS the season the plants put the seed down. And I might forget if I wait til winter!

Thanks again

Jenny P

DUH! I just looked at your note, and there is your email address right there, in front of me! LOL!

Hi, Jenny,
Glad they arrived and that you like them.
Absolutely. Plant them now. They will grow roots right away.
Mind you, it will take a few years before those bulbils start to bloom. But it is worth the wait. They are very easy to grow.

Have fun. :-)

RE: OT: Whom did I promise Tiger Lily bulbils?

Hi, I am a long time lily grower. I have a q about Tigers. I haven't grown them. How are they disease wise? I can't grow orientals or asiatics here because of disease everywhere. Diagnosed by the Mid Atlantic Lily Society as a virus in my soil and I'm not about to replace my yard! Orienpets and trumpets do fine though. How hearty are Tigers and are they good naturalizers?

TIA
