It was a beautiful, windy 70 degrees here, so decided to groom my lilies. They are already sending up buds.
I have some nice tubers, also some starts. All of my lilies were small tubers or starts at the beginning of last summer. When I pulled them out of the oil pans there was nothing but roots, most of the kitty litter was gone.

I have a ton of pink, they were at the four foot level of my pond, they never stopped blooming.

I have some white and yellow, big blooms, not as prolific as the pink.

the white is to the right

Some georgia peach, need to count how many, great bloomer,

All I ask is postage paid. I can fit 5-6 maybe more, depending on the size of the tuber, into one of those priority mail boxes (small) that are 5 something, think 5.95, it is the flat rate small box. If anybody knows the price, fill free to post it lol

If you are interested, you can reply here, I will pm you my paypal address. Include your address in you pp payment.

I just thought of the way I worded about the pink ones, I have one that is only 18 inches down, they do well at any depth.

LOL hubby just said dig another pond just for your lilies.

Sending you a collection jw!

I also have some (not a lot of starts) bright pink small footprint lilies. A real dark pink, good for a small pond. I purchased three starts last summer, they all did great.

A lot of mine were starts at the beginning of last summer, ie a little bud with a few green shoots sticking out, they all did wonderful in blooming and growing. Make sure you plant them so the growing tip is not buried.
