Donna, We get Lilium brownii bulbs in the Oriental Mkts, too. I don’t think the bulb plate is very essetial with this species since bulb scales can easily gow into new plants. I’ve grown it in the garden, but it is far from edible size here in the midwest. In Lanzhou, Gansu Province, China, I’ve seen workers sorting huge mounds of bulbs for the produce mkt and they are big as potatoes. best Jim W. > On Sep 16, 2015, at 11:13 AM, Leo Martin <stnalpsoel@gmail.com> wrote: > > Donna wrote: > >> I am looking for the edible lilly. > > The Asian markets here have them in the produce section, shrink-wrapped.
