Steve, quite possible that the orientals could have been poor quality bulbs. My first attempt was Centerfold from WM. I haven't given up on them, but I will be very cautious. This is yr 3 for me with lilium and I couldn't be more pleased. The people in the lily forum and bulbs have been quite instrumental in the addiction, a very helpful gang. You know who you are, lovely people!

Velnita, when I started planting lilies to grow underneath roses, I just sort of closed my eyes and planted them willy nilly, with great rewards. It will be the same w/ you and peonies.

My darling stepson is visiting for Easter and I have an arrangement of amaryllis and lilies in the b/fast table. He looked at it last night and asked about it. he was impressed that it came from our garden. so was I!

Next possible obsession: irises. Pirl has sorta got me thinking about them. I have started w/ LA irises and am taking serious look at dutch and the little short ones.

LA Iris Our Caroline. I have a trop. hibiscus planted nearby w/ very similar coloring.
