A great source for different asiatic lilies is The Lily Nook
(www.lilynook.mb.ca). They are out of Canada, but will easily ship to the
US. In fact, US residents should take 30% off of the listed prices because
they are in Canadian funds. It is well worth the $2 to get a physical
catalog. Every lily has a picture there. There are some on-line to tease
you. Another nice thing about the catalog is that they have "favorites"
lists: lists of those that are especially long-lived in the garden, those
that are the most floriferous, those that are the customers' favorites,
etc. Helps when you are overwhelmed with all of the choices!
I highly recommend getting the LA hybrids. These are a cross between an
asiatic and a trumpet lily. What you will get are blooms that are larger
than the normal asiatic and they will also have a slight perfume from the
trumpet heritage. Well worth the extra funds!
Another good source is McClure & Zimmerman. They do not have pictures in
their catalog, though. Prices are good and so is their reputation.
Hope this helps. I'm a huge fan of any lily.
