Thanks LG and Marcia. Unfortunately, today I had to dig out and get rid of Toronto, Double Sensation and another lily that appeared to have the lily virus, presenting with broken colors and streaky blooms. I'd rather not let the other lilies get infected. The "bad" ones are now in the garbage ;-(

I started counting the number of lilies that I've been collecting since 2009-2010, not counting the orange Asiatics that were planted before then, and I counted 284 lilies. I tend to get 3-5 bulbs per order, so that when they bloom, they put on a good show. Of course, since then, many of the bulbs have multiplied, so some of them will probably need to be split up, and I'll use them in areas that don't have any lilies planted.
