Re: bulbs

I love lilies ! Asiatics (many of which seem to multiply like bunnies for me and provide good height and color in june), orienpets which are dependable, long-lived, and fragrant, orientals (most of which seem relatively shorter lived for me, but again have marvelous fragrances), lilium rubrum which is the latest blooming for me; trumpets (which again have great fragrance)... have just one variety of martagons which seem to do well in a relatively shady area...and a few misc others...
I've never tried madonna lilies - have read they should be planted mid-summer. 
Nor have I tried asiapets - last I checked, they still seemed a little pricy

From the group description, I see that we are purely a perennial discussion

group.  Well, bulbs fall into that category, so...

I just dug up a clump of orienpets.   I had planted one nice-sized Haley's
Comet (very similar to Scheherazade) there about 6 or 7 yrs ago.  What I
came up with today were 2 big bulbs each about the size of a large
grapefruit.  Also 2 slightly smaller ones and then one that's about the size
a seller would send if you'd ordered it, probably 16 cm.  This was my first
orienpet, originally purchased about I'd guess 10 or 12 years ago.  It has
been very dependable and prolific, much more so than other orienpets I've
purchased since then.

Is anyone else here much into bulbs?
