Mg,

I'm with you. I have a couple of orienpets I love, but I personally think trumpets are absolutely fantastic. Such great performers. I am fond of orientals but they can be quite temperamental. Steve sent me some peonies and I asked what I could send, listed Amethyst Temple (one of my absolute favorites) and Steve mentioned that last year was bad for trumpets. I got Silver Sunburst from Old House Gardens a few years back and they are unbelievable. Amethyst Temple, Emerald Angel, Silver Sunburst, Regale and White Henryi bloom and multiply. Orientals, in my yard, hold their own, at best, but don't multiply much, and tend to disappear after a year or two..

Honestly, I don't find the orienpets as exciting as some people do, with the exception of Anastasia, which I got from The Lily Garden. The stems need some staking, but it is beautiful, with a strong scent, and it multiplies like a trumpet.

I look forward to B&D's lilies. They are wonderful, and I love supporting them.

Edited to add that this is Anastasia.
