More info.... I was at Portland's "Yard, Garden, and Patio Show" this past
weekend, and found these (in passing)-- "Lilia Siberica." They are a
beautiful all-white lily. That's all I know but thought you might like an
end to the story.
The three bulbs I purchased are planted-- now we'll see what happens.
