For that sp, the bulbs you got did indeed look tiny, also, they did not have the typical sub rhizomateous shape of a superbum bulb....superbum usually produces in time quite a large bulb which will send oyut a stolon underground, at which a new bulb will eventually form, and so clump up in time...flowering sized tuberbums are usually golfball sized, or slightly smaller, but can also get huge in time. <br /><br />You can see a picture here that I took of a flowering sized superbum, on the PBS Wiki : <br /><br />http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/LiliumBulbs<br /><br />superbum also usually does not produce any stem bulblets, although I have seen bigger bulbs ocasionally being stem rooting...<br /><br />The formosanum you got also looks like a 1 year old seedling, although it seems they can flower in 18 months from seed I have heard...<br /><br />Kind regards<br /><br />Pontus Wallstén<br />SwitzerlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-29113554641129096752010-04-12T22:24:28.029-04:002010-04-12T22:24:28.029-04:00m.heart - I will, I must, I shall, now.

I've purchased from a lot of online seed/bulb companies.
