Yeah, yeah, it's just hard to resist anything so fragrant!

Lisa, neither Ednie nor ADR has 'Eyeliner'. Ednie does have an asiatic lily called 'Black Eye' that's rather striking but not as elegant as Eyeliner. B&D Lilies does grow 'Eyeliner' http://www.bdlilies.com/l5018....... We sure got some great bulbs from them last fall, but my thought is that I'd rather not order spring lilies from the west coast; by the time they arrive they'll be well out of dormancy. I think fall might be the best time to order from B&D... but I'm open to suggestion.

I don't see 'Holland Beauty' or 'After Eight' on Ednie's list either. I do think ADR normally carries them... Lisa, where are you looking?

If you want a dwarf oriental with Stargazer-like coloring, I think First Romance might fill the bill. Looks like it grows a little taller than dwarfs like After Eight, to about 18"... After Eight turned out to be a little dainty for my border; I think First Romance might be sturdier. http://www.nemesia.co.uk/lily-...
