Weather is great in my area and I
Ready to do some cleanup. Foliage is mostly green which seems strange for so late in year. Should I cut?

That does seem strange. Have you been blessed with plenty of rain?

Maybe just cut off the tops where the seed pods are, for now? The leaves still look great.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.

That is a lot of green that will nourish the bulbs if left until they turn brown. The shorter one in the middle can be cut now. Looks like you had a great lily show this past summer.

I did have a great show. In houston area with amended clay soil they seemed to totally die back as expected. In fact I didn't cut anything, I'd just light tug o. Stems and cleanup was gone.

I. East texas they seem to stay green longer and the flower shows are better.

Thanks 4 ur help.
