Hart,

I ordered the catalogue from one of the places you sent--ther one where 5 bulbs cost $9.95. Wanted to see what else they had.

Your Avocado Lily, with that big cluster of blooms, reminds me of many people in Latvia walking with a SINGLE tall Lily stem with many blooms on it and buds too, a bit of wispy greenery and wrapped in paper to give to someone. SO pretty! Seems everyone gives everyone else flowers there. The flower stands are out of this world! Especially near the big Cemetaries. There can be 6-8 stands--all in a row. I am sure I have pictures.....

See here....This is just on a street in Riga. To me--this was just beyond amazing!
