Hello, I was wondering if anyone here had an extra oriental lily bulb or two to toss my way. Color and appearance not important, just want fragrant lilies.
I tried ordering the oriental lilies mixed bulbs from DirectGardening.com. The first time they sent ones that were rotting so bad that my husband thought some animal died in the garage, even after I threw it out in the trash can. I called and the company sent replacements but this time it was crackling brittle dry. At the slightest touch, the thing starts falling apart. Third times the charm right? They sent again. This time it's very moldy, ready to mush in some cases. I put fungicide on it and hoped for the best. Finally 5 out of 16 grew. But low and behold, it's not oriental lily. It looks like white trumpet lilies instead. No fragrance at all. I gave up on the company. Obviously, they're horrible with bulbs. (Don't even mention the other plants I purchased, all dead not dormant like they claimed.) So, I'm looking to see if anyone has any extra oriental lily bulbs to give away. Thanks.
And, be warned. Don't buy from Direct Gardening.

Anyone got extra oriental lily bulbs?
The easiest way to get started is to buy your lilies locally. Try your local nurseries and garden centers and you might find some that are still blooming.
