Lilies: Need lily bulb buying advice, 2 by DonnaMack

I order at least half my lilies from B&D. They are wonderful. I talked to Bob Gibson and they grow their bulbs, once they get them, for a couple of years before they send them to you. But there is a really inexpensive source you should check as well. Hallsons Gardens. They get their bulbs from Holland, and they have a more limited selection, but if they have what you are looking for, they are a tremendous value. ( lot of their bulbs are $2.00 to $2.50 each if you order three). You are not compromising on quality.

First year bulbs from B&D (three bulbs, and two of them are open in this photo. Each one has three flowers!) Prince Promise, a longiflorum Oriental.

First year bulbs from Hallson Gardens. (three bulbs, and as you can see three flowers to a stem), Dimension, Asiatic.
