I have a few Stargazer Lilies around my house. I purchased a pot of
them a couple of years back, and they have multiplied to a certain
degree, but not much.

However, a few years back, I was given an absolutely gorgeous and very
vivid hybrid Stargazer, which I would like to have more of.

It is a bright hot pink color.

Do any of you have a favorite supplier of these bulbs in the
Sacramento region, or an on-line supplier that you find to be
reliable, with quality bulbs?

I have dozens of Stargazer Lilies like the ones pictured on this page of
my web site, http://members.iglou.com/brosen/page29.htm

I got some of them at Wal*Mart for less than a dollar a bulb. I checked
this year and they are still selling a 3 pack of Stargazer Lilies for
$2.92. They do just as good in my garden as the ones that I bought from
mail order garden catalogs for twice as much.

I'll need to check the next time I'm there.

Here's a couple pictures taken of my Stargazers. These are the ones I
talked about that are hybrids. They came from the greenhouse area of
Home Depot, not outside in the nursery area. I'd love to have more of
these:

You may like this lily better as it's truly in the pink family.
Stargazer is actually still in what's considered to be the reds. Do a
search:

Pink Sorbonne Oriental Lily

I checked out Google images of this particular variety. I actually
think they may be what I thought were my "lighter" or "paler"
Stargazers.

Well, hot pink is not Stargazer so that's why I made this suggestion.
Actually, Sorbonne flowers are larger, better and have more per stem
than Stargazers.
