When I buy a citrus tree, I shop for the exact species, the same for
gardenias, azaleas and the same goes for lilies for me.

$4.50 is real cheap, but if you get 8 flowers all season, thats a high
cost per flower. I can luckily grow Tropicals where I live, and I will
get maybe 10x+ the flowers that a hardy will produce... if flowers are
your goal... a little more $$ upfront may be well worth the investment.

They have miniature water lillys that regularly sold for $1195 listed
at $4.50. Regular sized lillies listed at 9.95 now 3.50 and the
horsetail and other assorted marginals are 2.10. These are the ones
that come prepackaged in a plastic container with a plant basket etc
inside the plastic container (basically the bubs) not a bad deal if
your local Lowes has them in stock yet and have them discounted)

I bought some marked down pond plants there 2 weeks ago. They were marked
down to $1.37. The water lilies were all dead in their packages so I
bypassed them. They also had great deals on tropical house plants.

Wal-Mart has great WL in the spring for $4.88. Check them out next year.
