$4.50 is real cheap, but if you get 8 flowers all season, thats a high
cost per flower.
I bot one of those $4.50 lillies and it has been putting up flower after
flower
from about the 3rd week I put it in the pond.
Don't you think that is kinda rare for a hardy lily in its first year ?

===========================
That depends on the SIZE of the cutting in the package. These were a nice
size! :-) *Small* cutting/separations I make myself usually do not bloom
well, or only have a few blooms in late summer their first year. Some have

Yes, like I said... it is rare to get good production of blooms from
Hardy lilies in the first year.
and bloomed well after a few weeks of independent life in the
pond. Even small cutting of this Yellow variety bloom well their first
year.
There must be only like 15+ yellow hardy lilies.
Do you buy your trees and shrubs the same way... a 'yellow one'. It
makes it hard to discuss the subject with any specificity... you don't
