Rec. this email from OHG today.....
"Hello Marilyn
Thank you for emailing in with your question. We always order the largest available or “blooming size bulbs” and last year ordered size 16/18 bulbs of this variety. Lilies do take longer to establish so if yours did not bloom for you the first year or had a smaller/distorted flower, don’t be surprised. They should bloom lovely next summer for you. When our gold band bloomed here it was only 2’ tall and had one or two blooms per plant.
Please let me know if you have any other questions, thank you.
Vanessa, Bulbs Manager"
