I have two bulbs of Tiramasu, mostly an OT hybrid. I know nothing other than what I have read but the lack of source for this bulb made me wonder about scaling. I don't know if it has formed bubils on its own. They have been in the ground for, um, two summers, two winters, headed into the third winter. If I only had one I wouldn't touch it. It is a gorgeous lily. I don't know why Judith hasn't been selling it. I got it by happenstance. It was there on her site, then gone. And my only goal was to have perhaps a few grow to share with a couple of DG friends. I focus on growing lilies, peonies, dahlias. All the rest is pretty much filler in the garden. The dahlias take the most work. Peonies are all reward, little to no work.
I have varied results with lilies. Due to where I plant them? Maybe. Some grow the first year (Like Gizmo) into monsters with huge flowers. Others like Sopporo, Silk Road, not so good. I have a short growing season and a fair amount of cloudy days and rainy ones. It really hurts the white lilies. Anyway, that is where I am at. I thank you for your advice. I have read a lot of the postings here and feel prepared to make an attempt with realistic expectations.
