I bought some Oriental Lilly's a few days ago, and if the label is anything to go by they will be absolutely stunning.
The best part is the three only cost me £1.00 from Morrison's supermarket, as anyone else got any of these?.

I used to grow them here until someone brought in a plant with red beetles which ate them to the ground. They are quite beautiful. Just remember if you cut them for indoors, remover the stamens and pestils. the pollin will stain everything bright orange and it is almost impossible to get out of cloth.

Thanks for the advice, i found this out quite a few years ago with my other Lilly's and learned that lesson.
I never cut the Lilly's to take inside the house, they are always left outside, but if i decide to i will remember this!.
