*  Asiatic lilies command a price of at least $3.99 or more per bulb, a $47.88 value!
   *  Oriental lilies command a top price of at least $5.99  up to $15.99 or more per bulb in some stores! 

The bulb stock is from previously harvested  and are commercially grown for the cut flower trade. Since the bulbs have been
grown for one season and the flower including 2/3 rds of the stock harvested, these bulbs are NOT your first quality bulbs 
that you would receive from many catalogue companies.
    They may sleep for a couple of months but will flower the first year.  The flower, though  will not have as many blooms as prepared and vernalized bulbs.
First year  planting may  make the bloom time  late depending on time of  initial planting. Size of bloom will be any where
from 1-3 buds, subsequent years the bloom count will rise. If you have 'blind' shoots do not worry they are re charging for next year. If they do not come up the first year or are late please be patient. 
I have 4 year bulbs in the gardens that have 20-40 blooms.  You should see my 17 year old bulbs!

Hope to link to my photo page soon. 
I have won awards for my specimens and arrangements that include my lilies..In one or two growing seasons 
you may also have  the wonderful lilies I do.

What is Vernalization?
Vernalization is the cold preparation a bulb (and most temperate plants)  goes through to ensure a good  bud is 'set' 
within the bulb. To make sure it will flower after the right temperature , water and seasonal light requirements are met.
Not all the bulb stock has been vernalized. Especially after April, at present the in house stock is given normal winter
conditions for at least two months  at 40-50 F  or lower.
 After April, fridge requirements at the greenhouse are not always available to me. Even though a bulb is not vernalized, 
it will still bloom. Albeit later in the season and have anywhere from 1-3 blooms. In following years after normal and natural cold spells your lilies will be spectacular!
These lilies will provide exciting colour and offer fragrance to any

Grows in zones 3-9  Full sun to partial shade.
Normal bloom time :

Asiatic's are June through July ~ Orientals are from July to August and sometimes into Sept. Depending on the  month you first plant the bulbs your  first year planting bloom time may be later then stated. Asiatics take 2.5 months from planting to bloom time and Orientals take 3 months from planting to bloom.

I have Gift Certificates  in any amount you would wish to give in multiples  $10 dollars. No Tax!! 

I would  send the certificate in the mail at no cost with a card to either the purchaser or the giftee. Of course with instructions. 
The certificates would be valid a year from the date purchased.

Those orders that could not be shipped last year due to either early snow in area of shipping  or bulbs not ready for order will start shipping out the first week of April. If bulbs are no longer available due to loss in the storage facility a close substitution will be made.
 Of course as always freebies will be in your shipment.

Some varieties of bulbs are now no longer available from the supplier as tastes change in the market or a 'better' bulb comes along.
I will be updating those as I find out.
If there is a specific variety that you are looking for there may be a chance I can have those ordered in. Those bulbs will have a higher price as they are special orders and the cost to me would be higher.
Please contact me for more information for special orders .

Some of you have been trying to contact me through the form mail ( some customers  have called me at home, thank you.)  I have noticed that there has been plenty of form mail in my box but 99% of them were blank. I will endeavor to see what would cause this other then not filling out the form properly when entering the information.

I am now cleaning up the yard waste and areas that might have had weeds I may place in the garbage ( local regulations) the rest either goes into my compost pile which this year I will place on the veggie patch  (10' round by 6' high or was ,it has compacted to 5 ' now) or the leaves go straight onto the veggie patch. Half of the compost will go onto the gardens.
 Bulbs are starting to come up with other early perennials. My Hellebore's are looking great in deep purple, white, pink and greens as the flowers are small yet showy as they are still baby's in my yard.
Again I am waiting to see how and what types of other bulbs I will be able to pass along to you and this year I will be able to have 3 colours of Delphiniums a deep blue, a lavender and a crisp white. Once I have them at home and in stock those will be placed on the web site.
This will be a great gardening year and knowing you will have a spectacular show in summer!
