Trickers is supposed to have Blue Gigantea. I bought it one time, and it did not survive. I have some of the  aussies. But I have traded for them or someone has gave me seeds. I grow some of them from seed, but it is difficult because I live in zone 6 . I traded for N. violacea  this spring. Andrew Davis might have some you can ask him. I have several tubers of N. albert de lastang. But I will not know what is still alive till later in the year when tubers sprout.

N.Gigantea is  one of the few lilies I got from Tricker that was the correctly named plant.
Like Vickie, my first one was very small and did not take the shipping process well and had to be replaced.
I have some N. Gigantea starts that I planted a week ago. Water temps are still low enough that they won't take off just yet.
If the ones I planted do well I might have some available to sell in June or July.

A very big thanks to you both. I will take a risk and give Tricker a try.
