    I have just taken the front border up in our garden and I have a lot of peruvian lilies[alstroemeria] which someone can have very cheap there is a lot of clumps about 2-3 carrier bags full the only worry is would it be a lot of money to dispatch them as the clumps do weigh a bit I could split them if that would help I am in North Wales if that is any help many thanks
