Hi guys,
I got several bulbs last year at a nursery end-of-season sale...paid $2 each for what appeared to be pathetic, sad, possibly dead/dying bulbs. Didn't look good at all, but I thought with good soil, compost tea, and a fall and winter of rain I would see what happened....It was only $2 per bulb.....
IT IS ALIVE!! I pulled the mulch back today to peek, and there were several very sturdy heads poking up thru the soil peeking back at me...LOL :) You just never know!! Sometimes what is an expensive, healthy looking bulb ordered from a specialty nursery(with all that postage..ugh!) never does well. Then the bargain, barely alive lily thrives...ya never know...
PS. Sorry photo is so dark...will take new one....:(
