Roosterlorn said: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.


well it seems like intentional to me. These kind never became popular because most people don't want them. And when those people buy a mixed bag of lilies they expect it to look like it should look and have all it's body parts nodding
