I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database!
No, and (un)fortunately I won't Rolling on the floor laughing As I said, each to his/her own and I know someone did post as liking it.
I'll give a <i>bulb<i/> at least three years. I seldom purchase lilies locally in any form since they are pretty much limited to the common Asiatics or 3-4 types of common Orientals.

This was purchased as a two foot, two stem <i>plant<i/> with multiple buds from our best local nursery. Their plant material is superior in all respects so when I saw this, I grabbed it because it was an Asiatic I'd never seen. No picture on the tag, but described as a red double with clear white throat...ahhh...nope.

I do have my favorites, which seem to change yearly, but I've never seen a lily strike me this negatively since I've been growing them or drooling at everyone's online. There are too many out there for me to personally give this one a second year at my house Smiling
