up to 25 of each? to be clear, that's $2-3 per bulb not per bag.

I'll see what whites & pinks they have... some names I recognize, others I don't

OK, I've been looking up Ednie's callas. Pink & white choices are in bold. I'd like a couple, too, especially since noticing Brent & Becky's comment that they can be grown in wet conditions, even submerged, as well as under normal garden conditions. They'd look cute in a water lily pot!

I couldn't find info/pics of Cherry Kiss, French Kiss, or Apricot Lady... wait, found Cherry Kiss just added to Ednie's calla page, will add photo to this post!

Apricot Lady couldn't find as such, but cut flower wholesaler groups it with other vareties under "apricot orangy yellow" http://www.flowerwholesale.com...

Allure is deep rose to wine red, 12-18". http://www.edenbrothers.com/st...

Black Exposure is, I assume, near-black

Captain Romance is dwarf (12-17") and deep pink. https://www.gardenia.net/plant...

Captain Fuego is light orange with hints of pink and apricot, 12-18" tall. http://www.ebertsgreenhouse.co...

Captain Prado is purple-pink, 12-18" http://www.berrynurseries.com/...

Captain Ventura is white & pale green, dwarf. http://www.europe.pacificcalla...

Cherry Kiss 14-16", bright pink

Golden Nugget is golden yellow

Mercedes is bright orange & yellow

Odessa is near-black

Paco is pink & dusty rose, some say pink-purple, 18" tall. http://www.plantdelights.com/Z...

Picasso is deep purple with a wide white edge

Red Alert is flaming red

Samur is light pink to lavender-pink, 18-22" tall http://www.growingcolors.com/i... http://www.pacificcallas.com/c...

Siberia is pure white, 20-24" tall http://www.growingcolors.com/i...

Sun Club is bright yellow, dwarf

Cherry Kiss, photo from Ednie
Thumb of 2016-02-13/critterologist/d831d2

For taller pink & white, looks like Paco (20-22 cm bulbs for $3, 18-20 cm for $2.76) and Siberia (20-22 cm bulbs for $3). Samur has no size given and islisted at 6 cents... ??

For shorter pinks, there are several choices to go with the shorter white Captain Prado (16-18 cm for $2.26, 18-20 cm for $2.76, 20-22 cm bulbs for $3)

Wow, I'd like a slew of Samur at $0.06!
I'll take as many as 25 Captain Ventura and 10-15 Cherry Kiss. Thanks.

I'm going to ask about the Samur and see what the deal is there. I'll take some (3-5) of each of Capt. Venturo and Cherry Kiss... I like those shorter ones, very sweet!

I'll call next week to reserve a bag of both those callas. Smiling

I typically clip callas and put them in vases so they needn't be tall. In the garden, they don't have much impact unless you plant tons of 'em. To do that, we'd need to refinance the house.

I'm going to plant in containers, but I like the idea of cutting some also. Glad you went for some so I could get a few!

whew! thanks, Bert. Robin, sorry if I worried you. :-)

Robin, do you want to share a shipping box? I've got my eye on double orientals 'Annika' and 'Thalita', one bag of each. Trying to resist any others with all that are coming from Ednie, but those doubles are really striking. I'm going to try them in front this time, where they are protected from afternoon sun... also putting garlic or alliums around them to discourage voles.

Plant some Fritelaria's to chase the voles away.

Did you want the Anika and the Thalita in Robin's box and I'll add them on her invoice?

You can the pictures in the Lily Co-op here http://www.touchofnature.com/s...

I think the voles ate my frits. Blinking

I know that's unlikely, but something happened to them. I sure wouldn't eat anything that smells like skunk, but then I'm not a desperately hungry critter.

If that works for Robin, Bert, it works for me.

Lisa,

There are 2 pkgs of 5 Double Pink Blossom and 3 pkgs of 5 Elena left. There is always room left in the box. So if OK with Robin, I can put them in her box. Just let me know.

hah, we're picking up a little momentum again!

Bert, can you send these later and store them cold? if not, we can probably ask Robin to pot them (fine to cram 5 into a gallon pot for just 6 weeks, then spread them out a bit whrn you put them in the ground or in a bigger pot).
