I unbored Mr F this morning I introduced him to the duster and the vac cleaner to do his room

lol good one freddie .... I dont go into Mr B's minefield study very often, too dangerous lol lol

My grandfather had a wholesale lily nursery, this one is named after me.

Awww, I just googled his business name and found a nice message on the webpage of the current owners about my grandpa passing away early this year

You are his most beautiful Lily/Orchid.

They are stunning PD, have you ever grown them?

Just checked out the web site. looks like they may sell to the public as well, am hoping so, as they are quite a few there I would like to purchase

Some beautiful lilies on that link.... and some very reasonable prices

I have a handful in my garden but I dont think they are doing too well. I didnt really inherit the green thumb unfortunately. Also grandpa sold the business when I was in my late teens and nothing much remains of the lilies he cultivated. The guy he sold to ran the business into the ground and the current owner bought the business name for his own nursery. He was a personal friend of my grandfather.

Yes, they sell to the public and it would be well worth buying them from there rather than a retail outlet. You wont get them till winter though when they dig them up for the year.

Ahh the memories, the digging, the packing, the posting lol.........grandpa used to personally deliver anything reasonably local and I'd often tag along 🙂

I am assuming that the bulbs will multiply like most bulbs do, I noticed that they dont like to be lifted and will grow well in pots 

Mitre 10 only had pink ones, one plant in a pot for $24, so pleased I didnt buy it

I will def be ordering some, I love themand their prices are very reasonable

haha, maybe they'll get a sudden influx of orders and wonder why? They are lovely, a very small range compared to what my grandfather had 40 odd years ago and I dont recognise many of the names.
