Well, as some of you might have guessed of me, I went back and bought it ;) It states it is an "oriental", for some reason it looked more like an OT to me. Here's the picture.
Another thing to note about the Dutch type places, is that there doesn't seem to be much attention to detail. I checked out "Miss Lucy" today and it was in this "Biltmore Collection" and it was labelled a double asiatic. I saw the same bulb with a different vendor today and someone figured it out a placed a P-Touch type white label over it stating "oriental" where the asiatic type was. If I made an equivalent mistake in my job, I'd be fired.
Also of note, once you've received a lily bulb from Buggy Crazy, you are no longer impressed with the "large bulbs" you get from the Dutch Companies.
Back to Purple Prince.... I'm going to scale it and then see what happens.
Mainiac, I love Purple King, I bought it from an auction you had last fall.
