Ok, here it is half past September and I have just realized one of the things I am missing out here in California, Texas Hurricane Lillies. Darn, some things just can't be left behind! Anyone know where I can get some and if they will grow this far from home?
Thanks,
Fred
Hi, Fog ~
Is this what you're looking for? http://tytyga.com/oxbloodlilly/
Yep, that's it Moby but, gasp, the price. I left a fortune in Houston - there must have been two or three hundred in that yard! Now I am sick.
Fred
Buried treasure!
Here is another resource, (buggycrazy) and a very highly recommended one http://www.daylily.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi?cultivarsother&1127886216
Have you considered posting on the Bulb Forum for a trade?
Well, I have nothing to trade. I am starting a new garden from scratch. Nothing yet even big enough to take cuttings and a tiny yard that I am going to have to, horrors, plan. I will probably buy one Hurricane Lily and put it in the middle of an annual designated area and depend on nature - by the time I'm 80 or 90 I should have a good patch.

Not to worry, Fred. You can always ask if anyone is willing to trade for postage. The worst that can happen is that you won't have any takers ~ so you won't be any worse off than before.
Gardeners are an awfully generous lot, you might get lucky!
(I have a small fortune in Lily Of The Valley. Down at my local garden center they're charging $5 for 1 or 2 pips. I can't give the stuff away fast enough!)
That's an idea, all I can do is ask, eh?
Fred
Yep!
This might be an even better option ~ the Texas Gardening forum http://davesgarden.com/forums/f/region_tx/
Just so you know, they're also called Schoolhouse lilies. I hadn't heard "Hurricane" before and had to look it up. Good luck!
OK I'll post there also, thanks Moby.
