Just one flower on each stem but they're pretty huge.

I work at a WalMart and when we were cleaning out the garden center to turn it into the Christmas Shop last Sept./Oct I found these little green or yellow 2 quart metal watering cans that had 3 bags of 3 different bulbs in each one. They were kids sets and you were supposed to plant all of the bulbs in the watering can and grow them out. Two of the three bags were completely dried out husks but the lilies were still halfway good and even had little baby bulbs that had formed in the bag. They were labeled as Triumphator and there were 3 bulbs per bag. The whole can set rang up for 2 cents so a friend and I bought the 40 or so that were left, threw away the dried out bulbs and split the lilies. I ended up with 30 bulbs, gave 10 to a coworker and potted up the rest, 10 per pot.

Not a bad deal:LOL: 40 cents for 20 Triumphator lilies:LOL:
