I've been thinking... for those very special lilies ( like the ones we pay big bucks for from Canada); would it be workable to buy some very fine fabric, lets light through, to encase a lily like this for the season and then see how it comes back next year? Maybe put it in a pot first. It would have to keep very small insects already there in and other insects out. Or maybe go ahead and disbud everything on it first, then protect. I know it sounds kind of crazy... The point would be to protect the other plants in case it is virus.
I'll keep an eye on my B. J. in case the bulbs arrived this way. It hasn't opened yet.
