Has anyone ordered from this place?

Prices are good, but I can't find any reviews.

I checked the area BBB for both the Lily Flower Store and for Parry's Tree Farm Nursery. No reports.
It’s okay to not know all the answers.

It looks like they grow their own bulbs. The guy is also a member of NALS (yeah, I did a background check Rolling on the floor laughing Hilarious! ). Apparently there is a lily festival there later this month. If I can I will check it out.

I assume they ship at the proper time in the fall and not dig now (big no no). Yes, let us know how they do.

Glad to hear your Bonbini looks good. That's one I ordered. When I ordered I was given a choice of Fall or Spring dates and they are sending plastic markers with photos and lily fertilizer. You can also send photos of you other plants and they will make markers for 50 cents.

My neighbor a couple of houses down attended their lily festival and brought home several potted lilies. Not quite the same as ordering the bare bulbs through the mail but these were very big and healthy looking plants.

My lily bulbs along with the free pkg of fertilizer arrived a couple days ago and the bulbs are all very healthy looking and nice sized. I like the free markers too.

That's Great News! When I went through their website, I got the impression they are custom enough--almost like: 'dig to order' which would be great! For instance, when I looked at their Trumpets, they say 'not yet available'. That tells me they're holding them in the ground until they are absolutely ready to be pulled. That's a sign of a good grower--provided the don't run past customer optimum planting time. I see Hallson Gardens is doing the same thing this year. I've haven't bought from The Lily Flower Store because I'm so deep into specialty crosses of Trumpets and Aurelians, but I'm going to contact them--because something tells me here: There's more stuff growing out back than meets the eye on their website. I'm curious!

It is working now, temp problem

Any one have any of my old lilies they want to trade? I have a lily list and other bulbs to trade now, including Daffodils, allium, tulips and colchicum. I have lots of momentous, some may be bloom size now. Also looking for trumpets and species, but I have pink trumpets, have enough to trade.
