Judith Freeman is one of the most respected lily growers we have. She has done phenomenal work in the hybridization of orienpets and is a frequent guest at regional lily societies events. As Steve mentioned, the bulbs may just be immature. In a few years time, they will be fine. However, there are other factors to consider such as location, soil, weather and garden pests. I''ve never had a problem with a LG bulb. Yes, they may not be huge, but they have always arrived looking very healthy. If, when bulbs are received and there are no visable signs of neglect or disease, I don't think there is anything that can or should be complained about to the grower or supplier.

I do agree with Steve, that they should have some process in place for handling inquiries, but I also understand what might be going on there and I, for one, am willing to cut them some slack. In addition to Eddie's illness, I believe she travels a lot for speaking engagements and personal appearances. She was at our Fall sale last October. I believe B&D has a standard statement on their website about not being available and maybe someone should suggest to them something similar for the Lily Garden site.

Pic of Chambertain with Acapulco and Conca d'Or. Chambertain was lovely this year. Can't wait until next summer.
