Bulb Sales

Bulb sales are held in the spring each year. This sale, in March or April,
is a good time to get bulbs for planting as soon as the soil
can be worked or may be potted and later set out, or even left in pots.
This is a good time to get Orientals as some of them are not
very winter hardy. The sale may be held in connection with some
free educational seminars.
Bulb wrapping (a "members only" activity)
Bulbs are packaged and labeled for sale. This is a great time
to get to know other Lily enthusiasts. Ask your questions and
someone is sure to have an answer. This is a real learning
opportunity. It is fun and the treats are always good. You might
win a door prize and of course you have the opportunity to purchase
bulbs before the general public.

Lily Shows and Exhibits

WRLS Regional Lily Shows

Most years a Regional Lily Show is sponsored by WRLS.
It affords us an opportunity for some fun competition,
fellowship, and to see just what those funny looking bulbs
actually produce. One does not have to be a member to
enter a show.

NALS International Lily Shows

Sponsored by the NALS and hosted by regionals in the US and Canada
these shows attract visitors from around the world. WRLS hosted
the 1996 International Show in Eau Claire and will again in 2006.
Some members attend the International Show where ever it is.

Exhibits

Starting in 2000, WRLS exhibits lilies at the Northern Wisconsin
State Fair as an opportunity of inform the public of these wonderful
flowers.
