Hi everyone,
It seems I'm only the Southern Lilies' lover here. I've noticed most of you from zones 4-5. Am I pushing my luck with Lilies? Though, so far, so good. Here is my newly Pink and Yellow spider lilies.....They're about 6 feet tall, and need staking.
p.s. I'm partial to bigger bulbs, though depends on varieties. If one vender offer smaller bulbs and another offers same variety's bulb that are bigger -- you bet cha, I'd choose the bigger ones. Like most perrenials, bulbs or not, patience to wait until they mature at their pace. I'd choose a more robust, disease-resistance, robust plant/bulbs that I can find.
