Robinson's Comet lily bulblets

19 years ago

Is anyone interested in some Robinson's Comet bulblets?

Robinson's Comet is a downfacing pink lily that stands about 3 feet high.

I have about 150 bulblets each with little roots on them already and would send about 10 bulblets per person in an envelope.

Email me if interested.

    That lily is beautiful. If I lived in Canada I would definitely be accepting your generous offer.

    Very kind of you to make such an offer! I'd be happy to receive some bulbs from you! Terry

    There are enough bulblets for 6 more envelopes. First come first served. To those who have responded your envelopes go out in Monday's mail. Hope you enjoy them.

    Hi Brenda

    Signet here, I would love to try some of your bulbets please if there are any left. I am always interested in trying new lily varieties. Please email me so I can find out what I need to do to get the bulbets from you .

    Thanks so much

    Yippee....Mine just arrived. Probably pot them up later tonight.

    Michele, glad to hear that they arrived.

    I have only 2 more batches of 10 bulblets left.

    All of you please let me know here on the FN or by email how you will overwinter the bulblets and in spring how they are doing, okay?

    I planted mine into a container and sank the container into the ground. I'm sure they'll be fine because i've broken off bulblets while digging around in the garden and just poke a hole into the ground for them. The next year, there are tiny lilies growing. :)

    Good idea Marcia - I did the same (mainly to remember where they are next year).

    Thanks Brenda!

    Thanks Brenda. I got mine the other day in the mail. Probably tomorrow I'll get them in the ground. Good idea to use a pot for them then I remember where I planted them. I don't know when Sierra will get hers as I saw her on Monday so they came a day late. She'll probably have to wait now until spring time.

    Thanks Brenda. I did exactly what alot of others did. I planted them in a pot and then put them into the ground with a marker.

    I dug out the pot yesterday. They are growing Brenda. So I took them out of the pot and planted them in the ground.

    I have this memory, and it's not called "good"! LOL I found the pot i sunk into the ground but couldn't remember ever buying that lily. However i must have because i thought that it was intended for my sister-in-law whose last name is Robinson. Nothing was coming up in the pot, so i dug around and found the bulblets - still nothing tweaked.

    If i had a brain, i'd be dangerous.....

    Thanks for bring up this thread again, Shelley! :)

    Glad to hear that the bulblets made it Shelley and Marcia. How did everyone else's do?? I think I sent some to about a dozen people.

    Caleb, you sent me an email about getting some Robinson's Comet bulblets. I replied to you but your email was returned to me. Could you email me privately again?

    I did some switching around in the Photobucket to get separate albums and accidently lost all links to pictures I had posted for the last year. Sorry. Here is a picture of Robinson's Comet once again...

    and close up...

    I haven't heard from Syreeta to find out how the bulbs did this winter. Hopefully they survived nicely. They are a pretty lily.

    Sierra

    I forgot all about them. Hmm... I'll have to go looking for them. I do have two clumps of leaves from bulbs where I think I planted them. But I don't think they are lilies. I'll have to look for them tomorrow.

    Mine have just started to come up. Thanks Brenda!

  • 19 years ago

    I dug out the pot I have mine planted in but no action yet. They were buried in a shaded area along a hedge so I have moved them into a sunnier spot for more light and heat to see if I can get something going...

    I actually moved my pot into my greenhouse where it has been sitting behind some taller plants. I just noticed the other day that I do indeed have sprouts. I will be planting out soon with protection so that the pesky deer that I have hanging around doesn't think that I have added a new selection to his nightly buffet... :(

    I have a confession...........

    I planted them in my flowerbed last fall. - and then forgot I planted them in the flowerbed last fall. And dug up and redid my flower bed this spring. And then remembered that I had planted them in my flowerbed last fall.........so I don't know where they ended up for real. But.........I do have what might be one coming up - and the reason I think that is because its not in any "row" of anything I planted - its just kind of out there - so I think at least ONE survived.

    Sandcase, hi! Haven't talked to you for a while. I am sure that there will be more bulblets on the Robinson's Comet this fall again...there always is. So...if you can't find them and for sure lost them, we'll make arrangements to get some more to you. What did you put into your flowerbed? Annuals? Perennials? Have the deer been leaving the flowers alone?

    Susan, glad to hear you found them and that they are sprouting!

    Syreeta ... did you find yours?

    Laurie, Marcia and Shelley... how tall are yours already?

    Brenda

  • 19 years ago

    Mine were about 2-3" tall. I stuck a bow on the pot and gave it to my sister-in-law on Saturday (her birthday). She gets to do the babying now. :)

  • 19 years ago

    My Robinson's Comet lilies are couple inches for sure. I actually left a deep impression in the soil when I planted and it is slowly filling in.

    Shelley

  • 19 years ago

    Yep, mine are a couple of inches as well. Don't think they'll bloom this year.;^)

  • 19 years ago

    I was too late last fall, so please save me some Brenda this fall ;)

  • 19 years ago

    Sharon, sure, I can do that.
