OK, so I tried to order this lily last year & the company kept telling me they were sold out for the season (& it was early in the season, too!). So this year I started calling early & finally found someone that was willing to check to see if they had it. She called back & said Yes
. I was quite excited & bought it without asking too many questions. The other 2 lilies I was interested in they didn't have or none available. I got the lily & it certainly was well packed. The lily was decent sized (but by no means blooming size), all the surface pads clipped off & no roots. Still in my excitement stage & didn't pay attention to the packing slip on the outside of the box. Well, this morning I finally open the invoice & found they charged me $14.95 for shipping 1 small lily!!!
Now I'm praying to the lily goddess to keep the racoons away & that the lily will flourish
Hoping further still that it is one that multiplies rapidly, LOL. I'm not going to say which lily as I dont' want to jinx it
Racoons trashed twice one of my expensive new hardies last year. That company when I ordered it promised that it was blooming size. Well, I got it & it was one of the smallest divisions of hardies that I've ever seen. This spring it does have some tiny pads & 2 crowns. Still sending up prayers to the lily goddess
