first of all hello everyone.
I have planted lilies years ago and have since moved to another house and starting all over again. I planted 300 or more lilies this past fall and waiting to see what comes up in the springtime and since some of the bulbs were mixed.......will have to try ribbons on them in case some of them have to planted to a new area. Do not want 3 foot lilies growing with ones that are maybe 5 feet......so will see
the question I have is that I am buying a really nice trumpet lily and want to know if I can just scale the bulbs and plant the scales right into the garden without going through the bag routine and all that. it would give the scales a full season and summer to grow. I know that trumpets do not need to go in the fridge so wandered if this idea would work..
the other question I have is what and who are the biggest pollinators of lilies. I am a bit worried about this since I have a tulip tree on this yard that produces 700 tulips in the springtime and attracts queen bees and honey bees also queen honey bees. they somehow managed to change my peonies colors last year. I forget the term but it turns the flower back to the original color. this also happened with some tulips too. Apparently this is rare but it can happen.
anyhow glad I found out about this site..
I love lilies and flowers in general of all types
