Thanks for the advice! Though my arms are still so sore, I'm going to get busy planting in the ground. This picture is the inspiration for making such a strenuous shopping adventure... it's like the "lily tree" (I read an article scolding the growers for calling it that instead of the real name). I thought it was called American something and thought that was what I was getting more of, but was pleasantly surprised to find the new one will be pink and white.

I was stunned when the one pictured bloomed - I had no idea that it would get so gigantic.

I think the main goal is just to get them to establish themselves this summer and then look for blooms next year.

Thanks again for the helpful advice!
