I ordered these over a month ago and just got an e-mail that they will be shipped next week.
Is it to late for me to plant them? Are they going to be alright?
This is what I ordered.
ERCOLANO~WHITE FLOWER LA HYBRID LILY~... 5 $7.99
RED PLANET~LA HYBRID LILY FLOWER~5 $7.99
BLACK BEAUTY~TALL EASY RED GARDEN LIL... 5 $13.99

Lily DIZZY Fragrant Red White Flo... 5 $7.99
JAPANESE IRIS PLANTS~ PURPLE BLUE... 3 $8.97
Lily Pink Red Purple Gold Flower ... 30 smaller bulbs $10.00
I'm not sure why it's taking so long.I think he's the middle man.
I just want to know if I should have him send them or get a refund.
He said he was sending some apology bulbs.
Thanks for any help,Jody

Jody, plant them as soon as you get them.DONT FORGET TO FIRST SOAK THEM IN MIXTURE OF JAVEX/CHOLOROX FOR MINIMUM 1 HOUR. tHEN RINSE WELL in fresh water before planting. Yes, I am shouting. We do not want the !@#$ lily beetle to be spread.

Lilies are never dormant, so plant ASAP. No problem. I planted some this week. They may not bloom this year - don't know when your first frost date is - but they will grow and will bloom next year.

Great prices. Wish we had prices like that up here.

I'm so glad they will be okay.I don't know much about lilies,are the bulb sizes okay?Thanks,jody

JOdy, I don't know the bulb size in mm. I would have to look in one of my lily catalogs to ascertain if the size is OK.
