Hi flaflwrgrl
Wow - I'd love to be able to grow lilies
and pecans. Yum
The picture on that bulb packet looks more like a bunch of LAs than it does asiatics. Hmmm... who knows what your bulbs may be? If you want to try a warm climate species that doesn't need cold dormancy, Lilium philippinense reportedly does well. Apparently will flower in as little as 8 months from seed. (I'm giving it a go this year - the question for me will be whether it copes with winter here.)
