This is a new one to me. Does anyone know where I can find these and if they are hardy in Zone 8? Thanks so much and God bless, Margo
Tacas Lilies ?
Never heard of Tacas. Do you mean Tangos? According to the sellers, Tangos are the latest rage.
No, Tangos are beautiful lilies but not like these. These are also known as "batwings". If you google Taccas you will see a beautiful display. Thanks so much and God bless, Margo

Thank you so much ! I ordered 2 of the white / black ones to start with. They are gorgeous:) Thanks again and God bless, Margo
No problem. They are quite unusual!
Hi Margo! Hope all is well :)
I love those- such cool plants! Do let us know how they do for you.
Neal
Neal !! So good to see you too!! I bought these for my DH, he loves the unusual plants. When I saw them I knew he would love them!! I do hope they do well for him. They really are beautiful. If these do well, next year I would love some different colors but they sure aren't inexpensive,lol :) If you know any other sources, please let me hear from you. God bless, Margo
So good to cross paths again! So many of us DGrs now, and so many fun forums, its easy to miss folks. Have you heard from Annapet? Hope her career is going well.
Tacas are usually a bit pricy, but they look soooo worth it. Where did you get them? I can keep my eye out for them, and you know me...always on the mad hunt for the best deal, LOL
McClure and zimmerman carry them in their catalog.
I found a bi-color white and black at Eldon Accessories. They have an excellent rating here at DG, so I felt very comfortable purchasing from them. I'll post pictures of the plants or bulbs I recieve before I plant them. I bought 2 so they wouldn't be lonely, lol :))
Thank you JMorth, for the additional web sites. I'll be sure to check them out and let everyone know what I find. I would love to find a red one....red will always be my favorite color in the garden or in my closet LOL :))
Neal, I have Annipet's regular email address. I send her prayers and cute jokes from time to time but she never returns them, so I don't know how she is. I need to send her another personal letter. I sent one with no response. I know she is working full time and has a young child. I sure miss her, too.
God bless you all and again THANK YOU, Margo
