Ordered 3 lilies from Lisa in early November. She emailed promptly, shipped them quickly, and they are very large, healthy bulbs. She also included an extra 'gift' oriental lily!! I will continue to order from her because she knows how to treat her customers!

Excellent communication, the speediest delivery I've ever had from any company, very well packaged, and the most enormous bulbs I've ever seen - 3" wide and high is HUGE to me! I simply couldn't be more pleased and I will order from Lisa/Buggy Crazy with pleasure and confidence.
I placed the order on Thursday, 11/12 and they arrived today! That's speedy and I'm thrilled.
This is the second year I purchased from Lisa. They are just as HUGE as they were last year. I've purchased from 3 other lily growers and the size doesn't come close to these. Additionally, she is great with communication, great follow through, and package arrived exactly when she said it would.

I received my first order from Buggy Crazy, via Pacific Northwest Lily Society. I was extremely pleased with the very large bulbs that I received.

On Aug 5 2006 I placed a bulb order with Buggycrazy. The order arrived promptly, well packaged and the bulbs and seeds looked healthy and larger than I have seen elsewhere. My fall blooming crocus have bloomed and look terrific. I am sure the spring bulbs will thrive. I was so pleased that I have just submitted another order for 36 Lily bulbs. Thank you, Patti

After very good e-mail notification about shipping dates, I relieved as promised, two more boxes of healthy and whooping great big bulbs. The only draw back is that I need to dig way bigger holes than I normally do to accomodate these very generous bulbs. PattiOn August 11th, 2007, bbrookrd added the following:
On May 10 2007 I ordered a nice selection of narcissus. I received the box already that contains big healthy bulbs for fall planting. Pleased as always with the selection, service and shipping. You can't go wrong with her. PattiOn October 16th, 2007, bbrookrd added the following:
On Aug 7 2007 I placed a fall lily order for 34 bulbs and, as always, I have received two boxes full of the BEST ( pardon my shouting, but they are truly great bulbs) healthy and huge bulbs.

I placed my fall order for many wonderful narcissus and minor bulbs and, as always, Buggy Crazy sent very healthy and very generous in size bulbs that were perfectly packed. Later in the season when she posted her much anticipated lily list, I immediately placed another order for some her always very special lilies. Those arrived today as requested. They are choice and huge and wrapped and shipped with her usual care. Needless to say, I am again, as always, extremely happy with doing business with Lisa. Thanks, PattiOn November 9th, 2009, bbrookrd added the following:
On Aug 14Th 2009, I placed my fall Lily order with Buggy Crazy along with a couple of other things, and it was not to disappoint. I received about 30 different lily cultivars that were all fat and happy. I am going to be the same come bloom time! I couldn't be happier with her selection of bulbs, nor with the health and size of the bulbs and the careful shipping that she always does. I am also happy to get to add some Allium Purple King from her along with a much loved narcissus she calls Pinwheels that I first planted from a 2006 order. It is a favorite for us. So once again, thanks for the fine order and the bonus lily seedlings. Patti

I have to agree with mattsmom and the others who have posted here. Bulbs came today and were absolutely massive and very healthy. Shipping was very quick from notification to arrival. I am going to have to tear up more grass to make room for them. Lisa truly grows such an obviously terrific-quality product and for the prices she charges, one really gets a bargain. Outstanding bulbs!!! I'll definitely order again.

I don't add to reviews too often, but I think it can't be said enough how great this company's bulbs are and how wonderful (and considerate!) the service is also. Lisa had seen me post on the Lily forum about a bulb that I had wanted and had been sold out, and she sweetly included three of them in the order I received today as bonus bulbs. If THAT is not kindness and really caring about one's customer, not sure what is! Totally unexpected, and totally unnecessary, but this is the kind of vendor Lisa is and extremely rare in this day and age. She seriously deserves your business - try her! In addition - the bulbs I got this year seemed just as gigantic as last year, and bigger than I was expecting - one would never know the Pac NW had such a rough weather year!!

BuggyCrazy had a special posted that said they were adding a bulb of the famous Scheherazade to orders received before the month of March. I ordered on the 3rd of March and received my order on the 10th at the post office. I picked it up on the 11th and when checking the contents found a huge Scheherazade bulb included. The lily bulbs within are the largest I've ever experienced, let alone received from a mail order company (or anywhere else). Thanks BuggyCrazy.

I first ordered from Lisa several years ago and have every year since. She is consistantly the very best lily vendor I've ever dealt with. Last month I received this fall's order; I ordered twelve varieties but received 14. Again, the sheer size of many bulbs from Lisa is so impressive... well, I'm speechless...She's the best!

Buggy, has the best product out there. This is the best mail order company I have ever dealt with. Her bulbs are the very best you could ever get, anywhere!!! Buggy exhausts her self trying to make all her customers happy. The pictures at her site do not do justice to the lilies she produces. Look at the picture of the lily it is beautiful. When the lily grows in your garden it is 100 times more beautiful. Based on a five star rating I give Buggy ten. I will purchase from her as long as I'm able!!!!On October 23rd, 2009, dlefferts added the following:
Once again Lisa has out done her self. It was a prefect order from start to finish. From the first day of ordering, I continually kept increasing my order over the next couple of weeks. She kept prefect commuication with me, combining the orders and sending me credits for any overcharges. She let me know when she shipped the order, so I could keep an eye out for it. To this day when I receive an order from her. I can't believe the size and quality of the blubs. She has the best plants that you could possibly get anywhere. She is now the standard that I now measure other mail order companies by and none can even come close!!!On October 31st, 2009, dlefferts added the following:
Ordered some of Lisa's bulbs through PNWL, once again the best bulbs that you can find anywhere! I'm starting to try and work my way through every bulb she has to offer. I probally will run out of money and room before I can get them all.
Great Service! My bulbs were shipped very quickly and received in fantastic shape! I ordered several lilies, including one of the "Lambsblood". Initially, I thought they had forgotten to pack it because I found a MONSTER (and I do mean MONSTER) white trumpet lily bulb. It turned out the "Lambsblood" (which was the size of small orange) was hidden behind the monster bulb which was the size of a flippin' grapefruit...and this monster bulb was a thank you gift for my order! I was very impressed and will order much more next year.

This is the first year I have ordered from BuggyCrazy. I made numerous additions to my order (couldn't help myself!) and Lisa combined shipping for all of them. The lily bulbs arrived last Friday and were beautiful! The packaging was great and the included markers were a pleasant suprise. The bulbs were fresh and HUGE. I have e-mailed Lisa a few times to ask questions regarding planting one of my pickier choices and she responded each time quickly and with detailed information. I will never hesitate to order from BuggyCrazy again and in fact will order here first.

BuggyCrazy is terrific! I heard about Lisa here and I'm so glad I decided to see for myself what her bulbs were like. I'm very impressed! Every bulb I received is super clean, fresh, LARGE, and excellent. I ordered some narcissus as well-great prices, and the quality of the daffs is just as high as her lilies. She is great with accommodating order changes as well as notifying an order was shipped. I'm very happy and definitely planning to order again.

I've placed further orders this fall, and each one has been as good as the first order. A recent order included bare root stock, lilies and a mixture of other bulbs. Everything was packed to protect itself and the plants around it. One delicate root crown was even wrapped and then placed in a bubble envelope to protect it inside the box with the other plants. She's the best! Her quality is what I'll be judging others by in future.On October 23rd, 2009, susybell added the following:
Guess it's time to update my review. The short answer is: No change! She's still the best. I've ordered from her consistently since 2007 and have never been disappointed.

After getting both fall shipped and spring shipped items from Buggy Crazy now, I can say she (Lisa) is a treasure among mail order companies. She quickly provides you with information via e-mail and continues to set the standard, for me, by which other companies are judged. She sends out the most healthy, beautiful, unsual plants and bulbs available. Her honesty, communication and quality is refreshing. You really can't go wrong with Buggy Crazy. Simply an outstanding company, from start to finish.On October 25th, 2007, magnolialover added the following:
How can you compare another vendor with a woman who grows and manages her own lily stock? Buggy Crazy continues to provide excellent bulbs, unique to the market place, are many of her own creations. I was once again provided huge, freshly dug bulbs this fall.
With Buggy, you just can't go wrong. It is a must-have experience for any person loving lilies. Just amazing.On February 17th, 2008, magnolialover added the following:
I just got my order of lily seeds a couple weeks ago (and I already have germination on some that usually require a cold period). The seed arrived well packed and very well documented.

Another seed order and added a couple sale bulbs this time too. She was very helpful and held the order until it was safe in my zone to ship, based on forecasted temps.

Just ordered some gooseberries from Buggy Crazy, they arrived promptly after ordering and with excellent packaging. The starts were bare root, insulated well and had many, many roots upon arrival. I potted them up two days ago and they are already taking off. Leading me to say, if you can get it from Buggy Crazy, why get it from anyone else? She grows the best and ships the best. I only feel bad about this feedback getting buried in the comments as no one will likely read it, but Lisa, you are appreciated! On October 22nd, 2009, magnolialover added the following:
There is NOTHING else like a bulb from Buggy Crazy. Even on what she calls a bad year, she ships the most amazing bulbs I see all year. Lisa is a gem from customer service to product. You can't and will not go wrong with an order from Buggy Crazy. You'll never receive anything anywhere that is as freshly dug, as plump and as large as a Buggy Bulb (that should be trademarked you know ^_^)
I will support this business as long as it exists! Thank you Lisa!

I also received a bonus bulb. That's a pleasant surprise. The bonus bulb is even larger than the ordered bulbs.

Yesterday, I received a first time order from "Buggy Crazy's." I will eagerly add to Lisa's long list of compliments here at Dave's. Everything I received appeared healthy and of good size. The prices were very good and service has been excellent. This first order was more or less a trial on my part (I always like to place a small order of less than $200 when I do business the first time). Based on my experience thus far, I will not hesitate placing another larger order in the future. Thank you, Lisa! You are one of those dealers that make online shopping fun. Have a good day and Good Gardening to All!
Beautiful bulbs, arrived in due time. Very happy with quality, and have heard wonderful things about the type of bulbs I purchased. Can't wait to get them in the ground and see if my green thumb really is all that it's cracked up to be. Already placed my second order for fall shipping. Thanks so much!

Wonderful customer service followed up with exceptional bulbs delivered very promptly. I will be ordering more from this company. These bulbs were quite large, healthy and reasonably priced. I have bought the same bulbs from the San Antonio Botanical Garden sale and they were much more expensive (of course it is a fund raiser ).
I think Buggy's are bigger than any I saw at San Antonio Gardens. Now I will just have to wait and see how these bulbs adjust to our Texas weather.

So far I have placed 2 lily bulb orders with Buggy Crazy this fall and both have been wonderful. I echo many of the comments from previous members on her fast service and large, freshly dug bulbs. Because of the limited selection of my local nurseries I have tried many online bulb companies to get "hard to find" bulbs and Buggy Crazy is by far the best to date. I challenge anybody to find a better quality lily bulb on the market. The prices are very affordable too. This is my 2nd season with Buggy Crazy and I am 100% converted and satisfied . Great work Lisa!!

Received my first order of lily bulbs from Lisa. They are fabulous. You can tell they were freshly dug. The roots are very plump & white. They are by far largest bulbs I have ever received.
