    I grow lots of lilies in huge whisky barrels. It is very hit or miss to grow in the ground here but lilies do very well in the barrels. So well that I am fed up with the ones I have as had them for years.
    I want a change so going to buy some doubles which don’t have pollen. I have grown a few doubles in the past successfully.
    I have 2 cats and while a great amount of unnecessary fear is put into pet owners re poisonous plants I do remove the stamens of my lilies, just in case as they grow on the patio and the cats would pick up a lot of pollen on their paws if I didn’t. Buying doubles would mean I did not have to do this as currently I maybe have 100 lilies so a tedious task!
    Can anybody recommend a good source for these bulbs? So many on line companies are decidedly hit or miss.
    I will definitely not buy from T&M or Van whatsit. Parker’s are a bit hit or miss in my experience, never tried BULBi or Farmer Gracey which currently has 25% off.
    I would be grateful for others recommendations or otherwise! Thanks.
