I bought my first seeds from ebay and daylilies as well , the daylilies I got from a great seller Cooldaylilies.
But what got me started on daylilies was when I went to trade my surprise lilies and someone offered me daylilies.
But by far LA has been great for seeds and if I could find a shipping deal like Cooldaylilies does on his auctions I would buy the plants from the LA.
