Mom's looking thru the bulb sale fundraiser. What would lavendar mountain lilies be, really? ( I don't like catalogs that don't give Latin names) I'm looking up some things for her. Thanks
Sally

Thanks- I think I've seen that name in some of the common cheapo bulb offers. I'll go to Plantfile and see if it looks worth trying.

They are quite lovely and bloom later than most spring bloomers.
