Yes, it was in Dunmurry and the other Rolls plant was in Dundonald. There wasn't any outbursts of conflict during my stays. I think most of that occurred just prior to me going there. I don't remember the name of the place I stayed, but was old and castle like, I believe it was built in the 1600's and had some historical significance. I did have a chance to travel around the countryside. I could tell people must have used some of those same old back roads or routes for centuries because they were several feet lower than the general terrain. Very nice people.
Now, back to lilies. Is it typical practice for European growers to use shredded paper for moisture control in packing? I looked at the Parker website. The prices are good, even when I factor in the currency exchange rate. Are your dahlias still flowering? In my area, the dahlias freeze before they're done blooming. Then, to be safe, we dig around Thanksgiving time and store in dry beach sand.
