Peter--shipping lily bulbs in sealed plastic bags or freezer bags is the norm and most all growers/sellers in North America add plenty of peat moss, perlite, or coarse pine saw dust for moisture control. Whoever you bought from used shredded paper? Who was that? That's a first time ever for me seeing that. Not inferring that it's bad thing, here--just struck me as 'different'.

200 bulbs would make anywhere from 40 to 60 or more nice groups of 3 or 5. That's a lot of work! When it comes to lilies, I call it 'fun'. I see you are in zone 9a. Would that be a North American 9a, such as Florida, California, etc.? I'm interested in what lilies perform best in your zone and environment as well as what other plants you grow in your mixed garden settings. Keep posting.
