Ordered 70 lily bulbs (pack of 20 and pack of 50) late in the season, having been advised that bulbs were still in cold storage. After two weeks a package arrived containing 140 bulbs ( 2 x 20 bulbs and 2 x 50 bulbs). Of these 140 only 4 had an unbroken flower stem, the remainder having broken stems ranging from 1mm in lenght to a few cms. Thus only a few flowers from the four intact bulbs, and of the remaining 136 bulbs most will probably die over winter due to inability to grow any stem roots.
The bulbs had obviously not been kept in cold storage but had been grwoing flower stems for many weeks and most weer then snapped of during packing. THESE PEOPLE LIE, AVOID.
