Sorry you are right Rick it was Lorn that posted that.........
Here is the orienpets that suffer the most due to the frost.......they for some reason seem to emerge first out of the ground. As the trumpets made a later appearance they did suffer some light frost on some of the leaves on the ones that got a wee bit of exposure..... I think they are more susceptible to the frost to be honest....... The other lily types are not showing any signs of it during the last severe frost..but then again most of them were all covered in frost blankets..
I do put a heavy mulch on in the fall but still they emerge too early. A lily breeder here in Ontario told that I might be 3 weeks behind with the mulch I added last year but still they came up early through all that....go figure...
I am not sure what am going to do this coming winter.....since I had 4 to 5 inches of mulch on top and this had this issue. Might try adding some straw on top this winter and see how it goes. First I want to get through some blooms and then think about winter once Summer is maybe done.....
