Lilium longiflorum (Easter Lily Bulbs)

Fort Myers, FL(Zone 10a)

I would like to trade for Calidums if I can!

I have way to many bulbs.. most babies.

They will grow fast! A baby bulb becomes a mother bulbs in about 3 years!
Mine are a few years old and I have lots of mothers. Mine have put out lots of babies.

In case anyone is interested.

There is a new hybrid lily Longiflorum x Asiatic (LA for short) that does well in the deep south, including all of FL. .......Longiflorum is the Easter lily.

Because you were asking for Caladiums....I thought that anyway.

They have some LA lily bulbs for sale at http://www.johnscheepers.com/catview.cgi?_fn=Product&_category=Lilies:Longiflorum

I quit trading years ago after I sat down and did a cost/benefit anaylsis. I figured out that I was spending an hour or two of my time (@ $30 an hour), money for postage/boxing/padding and vehicle expenses to get a couple of plants that only cost $4-5 retail.

I just buy what I need now a days because it ends up being cheaper and I get full sized blooming plants.

I love lilies!

I trade just because I can't keep all the plants.. The EE's will take over if I don't pluck out the pups! lol

My mom wanted Cal's so I did a trade just for that.. otherwise... I order all my boxes online from USPS... they are free... and I love to share!

I'm sure If I did the same as you... I would know it is not cost effective.

I share too, it is just that I am cheap. I will share cconversations and photos....

I saw this at a nursery took the photo home, not the plant (:-)
