So I received a species bulb order from Fedex today. I ordered 2 lilium sargentiae and 2 lilium taliense from a site called Far Reaches Farm. (Not to be confused with Faraway flowers) In the description they describe the sargentiae bulbs as "immediate gratification large bulbs" and the taliense were to come in four inch pots.
Excited, I opened up the box to find this!
A quarter was put in by myself for size comparison.
Those small bulbs came from two 4 inch pots and the soil was washed off. Some are sprouting and others are exceptionally tiny. The biggest horror show was the 2 chunks of stem roots(one with last seasons cut stem) as my sargentiae "plants"!
I checked back on the website for descriptions before I called to complain. I was definitely complaining about the sargentiae "bulbs" or lack of. Unfortunately their customer service is M-F so I will have to call on Monday. Needless to say I will call Monday to see what they will do but I am expecting a full refund for that nonsense that was shipped. I will keep you all posted on how this turns out. For now, proceed with extreme caution with this company.
