Hi Clay, A few years ago, I traded you for some of your Chocolate Lily Bulblet's, Can you tell me how long it takes for them to bloom? I see 5-7 years from seed. I am thinking I should change the location of them, maybe they are not getting enough sun? P.S I have had my eye on your eBay auction:)Anita

Might I interest you in some Daffodils? La Belle? While they are not an expensive variety, they are blooming size, as I just rec them from Brent and Becky's. Let me know if interested. Thanks Sue Here is a link that might be useful: La Belle

Hi Riz, I emailed you a while ago but didn't hear back, but I know that gardenweb is not necessarily good on keeping the email side working. I have campanula sarastro from your trade list, and would love to trade for any lilies. Thanks for considering.

TJ - as said ... in nature the bulbils would drop naturally around the parent plant and take care of themselves without any human intervention. 1. If you have a yard - and aren't balcony gardening - and since they're already potted, bury the pot up to the rim so you won't lose track of where they are. 2. Maryland winters aren't cold enough for any extended period so a sunk pot doesn't need any extra protection. They survive here in Minnesota at 30 below for weeks on end and sprout in planters, cracks in the wall and just about any place they land. 3. Don't keep watering - they'll rot. The bulb has everything it needs. 4. Don't expect any growth this season. Next season, the sprouts will look like shiny, lanceolate blades of grass and do best in full sun. The second season they'll look like spindly little lily plants. 5. Planting them shallowly (just barely under the soil) directly in the ground would have been best since then they wouldn't have to be moved. They'll be a bit delicate for a few years and it'll be easy to break the stalk away from the bulb in handling.
