How do Exhibition-size™ bulbs differ from your regular Premium-size™ stock? Lily bulbs are sorted by circumference when they are brought in from the field. Any bulb which blooms is a mature size, but larger bulbs will tend to produce taller stems and have more flowers the first season after planting. Most 16/18cm Oriental bulbs (two to three years old) produce 3 to 5 flowers the first year with many more the following season. These bulbs weigh approximately 2 to 4 ounces and we grade them as Premium-size™. Our Exhibition-size™ Oriental Lily bulbs are 1/2 pound and larger. You get a taller stem and more flowers the first season. Occasionally, we may send an Exhibition-size™ bulb at no extra cost when you have paid for the smaller grade. The package may, or may not, be marked as such. Very likely we have dipped into our propagation stock to honor all requests for a cultivar. All bulbs are hand-inspected on three separate occasions for mechanical damage and soundness before packaging. Bruised or cut bulbs are discarded or replanted in the field. This extra attention to quality and size assures you of nothing less than absolute satisfaction when your lilies flower. |
