I need a source for dwarf oriental lilies where I can purchase bulbs yet this spring. Can anyone help?

MsM - One of my favorite lily sources, for their sheer variety, is The Lily Nook in Canada. Here is a link to their orientals page, of which they have several in the dwarf size. They only ship orientals in Spring.

You do have to pay an add'l fee for the phytosanitary certificate ($15) that's required to allow them across the Canadian/US border. However, if you are interested in buying several from them the currency exchange rate is favorable right now @ US$1 = CDN$1.22.
I've pooled orders with other DG members before and it really offsets the $15 fee if you can get a good-sized order together (say 60-70 bulbs). I'd be willing to go in on some if you'd want. I'm sure we could get a few others as well.
I would be interested if you guys want to group an order....btw The Lily Garden is having their spring sale...lots of bulbs at great prices for Spring...

Brenda,
If a few of us went together, will one person have to be responsible for sending out to others just like a co-op or will the Lilynook send to separate addresses?
What I did last year was handled it like a mini-coop, but never really thought about it like that I guess because we didn't get a discount or anything. I was just looking for someone to share the expense of the Phyto certificate and it ended up that 4 of us went together on an order. I divided the cost of shipping and phyto up as a percentage based upon the dollar amount of each person's order. I then added on shipping from me to the others.
Langbr, I would be interested in purchasing some of these pixies if we get a group together. Linda
