I don't think this is a case where one big import/export company, VWS, is intentionally salt and peppering retail bags with odd stock. The lily named 'Must See' is part of a much larger group of novelty lilies; the antherless, the pollenless, the doubles, etc. This new wave of novelty lilies was once anticipated to become very popular with gardeners, but that interest never really develeoped. So,these otherwise healthy bulbs or surplus bulbs at the grower level end up being bagged and marketed to the discount stores for home gardener use.
