#[0] I found the name of these varieties of lilies. They are giant heirloom double-blooming variations that are hybridized.

The deep hot pink one is Double Oriental Lily Magic Star: https://www.dutchbulbs.com/product/double-oriental-lily-magic-star

The ultraviolet light pink one with yellow bones are the Asiatic variation: https://www.hollandbulbfarms.com/spring-planting-bulbs/spring-flower-bulb-deals/jumbo-bags/roberta-oriental-lilies-jumbo-pack

I could ship you some bulbs before they sprout, if you'd like.

that might actually be really interesting. :-) would they prefer partial sun, on a patio, or a 1000w grow lamp at appropriate distance?

Partial Sun & a patio is perfect. They grow amazing in outdoor pots. The bulbs may not survive controlled conditions under a grow lamp - they need earthly incubation.

Just my luck, I don't really like using the grow lamp, it makes my apartment look very alien, and I'm not into artificial. I bought it along with a tent I never assembled, a few years ago. LOL. Earthly = my vibe. Still have some nice fox farm ocean soil, so I think this would be fun. Especially if they attract bees.

Liliums certainly do. They’re like succulent candy for our precious bees 🐝 🍯
