I've noticed with a lot of bulbs if you are careful and just sort of "plop" (a real descriptive term, I know) them into a bigger pot with little loss of or movement of original soil, they take right off and it never seems to faze them.

the 3 species I'm trying this year look a little strange (started from bulb, not seeds) to me but I guess that's because I'm not used to them. I thought something was eating at the one in the front and briefly thought about running for the organic insecticidal soap. But then I thought they looked rather healthy. These are Lilium tigrinum flore pleno--probably not at all suited for the south, but when has that ever stopped me from trying to grow a bulb.

So you are saying the white stuff is OK?
