I think Brig Saheb was wanting "as many varieties as possible". Please let us know that all varieties are available here in Lahore in September?

Every seed shop is selling 4-5 varieties usually of Asiatic lilies, the names and pictures may be different but the bulbs are the same, let us see what I get this year.

So Hassan since you are recommending this site so have ordered any lilliums from this site? If so what has cost per unit including transportation cost via air, documentation charges (import permit charges, phyto certificates, forwarding charges, custom clearing charges etc)?
Lilliums are available here in Pakistan at Rs 60-70 in September/October and i wouldn't be surprised if the all these costs mentioned above added together exceed Rs 60 per bulb. Seed shops find it convenient to order through a distributor who manages to source these bulbs at a nominal cost of Rs 15-20 per bulb due to bulk ordering and transportation costs are minimized due to consolidation (economies of scale) and sells them to the seeds shops around Rs 30 maximum and the seeds shop in turn sell them at Rs 60 or 70 per bulb.

Gorgeous Brig Sahab,

I believe these need chilling in fridge in summer. As far as I know they are difficult to handle bulbs in Lahore area.
