Very nice, Stormy, does it smell as good as it looks? I need to get some of those. Orietal-Trumpet lilies are my favorite.

Thanks, Lady. Yes, it does. It's a wonderful lily, blooms for a long time. They are hard to come by. This past summer, there was a gal here on DG that was selling some. I'll have to get her name for you.

Simply beautiful Stormy. I would appreciate your source also. Thanks for taking the time to put up all your wonderful pictures.

Regards,

Teri

Lady & Roses, Here, the gal's name is Babette. She actually has an ad running for them in the DG Marketplace right now:

Congrats on your absolutely beautiful photos!
I love the American Series Orienpets.
Glad they made headlines for you!

Babette, I love them too, but they are getting harder and harder to find. I don't understand it, they are so distinctive and they grow so well.

Take good care of the bulbs while in dormancy too.
It has facinated me to see new bulbs starting to grow from the scales of the mother bulb. The compost that I give my buyers along with Miracle Grow Peat Moss aids in their development and speeds new growth.

Such a joy to think that in 3 years, a clone can be acheived so easily.
Enjoy!
