Connie - thank you so much for helping out here. With your knowledge of lilies and telling us what goes into your decision you help all of us. I really appreciate your post.
What would you like to see best in future photo submissions?
I'm just guessing here -
Entire plant
Buds
Leaves
Front view
Profile
Leaves
Bulb
Stamens, filaments, pistil, stigma
Anything else that would help you and help us to take the photos you need?
I've ordered from B & D for many years and yet the majority of my phony colors comes from them. Very disturbing! Sumatra and Paraguay were the most disappointing and the most photoshopped whether the photos were supplied to them or not. In view of those two experiences I wouldn't chance ordering Trebbiano from them.
One more question, Connie. When I read about specific lilies now being referred to as "strains" - is that something you would add or are we supposed to know it when it wasn't shown that way on the site where we ordered. I think it may have been Golden Splendor that I read about as now being called 'Golden Splendor Strain'.
Thanks for all your help, Connie!
