Great Larry. You have to use "Tet" before the dip name, otherwise only the dip will be displayed. I refer to a cycle to mean that the sellers next round of plants/seeds will not come around until next weekend. As in "ending".

I bought it from Mark for this spring delivery in November. Didn't buy her for her looks Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing It must increase well because Mark seems to have an unending supply of it.

I assume it is for 1 fan? I am trying not to buy if only one fan. All the ones I bought for last spring, in the fall, they were still one fan. Very disappointing Sad Sad Most of the others at least developed one more fan if not more.

Yes, that's a single fan, believe it or not.

I've seen Tet RFK on the Lily Auction for much less than that, though.

Edited to add: 2 different sellers have it on LA right now for $79.99, single fan.

After some of the comments about going back to diploid form, I'm now thinking about going with the diploid form. Lol. That's an awful lot to spend, either way, on a single fan.

If you're looking for a nice garden plant, the diploid is the way to go. The extra thickness of the tet conversion's flower segments can cause opening problems. The conversion can also have larger flowers, but overall, the only reason to buy a tet conversion is if you plan on breeding with it.

I have trouble w dip being too loose and floppy sometimes the scapes don't hold up, so I prefer tet. That isn't always true, just a general observation for many I've grown.

I did, Dave, but it was several years ago. I bought several plants which are all doing well in my garden. I remember it being a good experience.

I have ordered from there, but was 10 years ago, they sent nice plants and a nice bonus, don't remember all now, but if there was nothing to remember-that's a good thing nodding If anything goes wrong-I don't forget!
