Kabby, between having a really busy year at work and so much rain and heat this summer, I haven't had the time in the garden I'd like. I acquired way too many new irises this year and it took me over 8 weeks to get them all planted. After stressing over them for so long I've been reluctant to order bulbs. I've got events the next 3 weekends but will get a little break after that and I may break down and order a few bulbs.

I know of other gardeners in your zone that have good luck with OT lilies. You may want to try giving them a generous dose of compost- I've had lilies respond to compost by growing considerably larger the next year and developing larger blooms.
