Oxblood Lily Dig

Published Monday, September 01, 2008 by Bulb Hunter | E-mail this post

Bulb hunts come in all shapes and sizes. Some are sudden and quick, and some take years of stalking. Three years ago Ben Arcuni, our former coworker and bulb hunting companion, spotted an old house top through an opening of post oak trees. Recognizing the worn out paint job, overgrown shrubs, and broken fence, he realized that this could be a perfect site for some forgotten bulbs. When he parked and peaked over a fence, he discovered a fairly large naturalized planting of oxblood lilies. For three years, we have been talking with the owner of the vacant house and land. They have decided to sell it and have agreed to let us remove some of the bulbs and share them with their family and use them for our business. We are excited about this opportunity. As a labor day special, we are offering them for $2 off of their normal price (you can order here).
