| I offered to share some of my red rain lily bulbs with a friend out of state then realized that I know nothing about lilies, bulbs, transplanting, nothing. She is in lower Florida and I am in upper Gulf Coast, Texas so climate isn't a problem. But...
When is the best time to dig them up? Do I dry them out before shipping or ship them as soon as they are out of the ground? Best way to ship? Rebecca |

| Zephyranthes can be divided late summer to early fall and then replanted. For shipping I would clead the soil from the bulb and then wrap it in a damp paper then seal it in a "zip lock" type bag tape it closed then ship. The paper is DAMP not dripping wet. |

| Thanks. Sounds like I better get busy and get them shipped out. |
