Re: self-sowers

Richard, you need to catch up a little more ;+)
I've been buying my lilies from VanEngelen since 1990.

The reason for that message was a sort of complaint about people trying to
"help" me, not really about the price of lilies.  That $12.50 Silk Road from
Lily Garden can be gotten from Van Engelen for as little as $1.40 under the
name Triumphator (I ordered 5 for $8.75).  The reason I can't use these in
my bulb sale is that VE cannot get them to me in time for our bulb sale.

BTW - you are going to love them!

Kitty
