We still have quite a few summer blooming bulbs at Bay Laurel Garden Center in Atascadero. Pictured here is a new tiger lily, ‘Pink Giant’. Another new variety is a double yellow variety considered to be pollen free. This quality is considered beneficial as a cut flower as it reduces allergic reactions and extends vase life.
