You know what Joe that makes sense to me the ones that are planted in the spring verses the one in the fall. that never even occurred to me.
I have a variety of lilies planted at different times of the year here
and you are all right and I am just learning.......
and Rick you are now allowed to run away on me..hahaha I respect your opinion
just got to thinking maybe this was the wrong kind of question to ask on here......more on the stupid part on my side not yours........
I respect all the help I can get on this forum
actually when you think of it Rick is right, no two lilies are the same........ and likely no two bulbs are the exact same either........
even in the pots some of the bulbs that came in groups of three from the same source one is up and one is not up yet, same depth and so on.....
I think it is these pots that are driving me nuts.....at times. will be glad to get them out in the big garden as soon as the end of the summer or earlier... if possible
thanks again everyone
Another issue seems to be the one zone is not the same as the same zone in another place such as 5......
and Jason I have had Oriental's that have done that in the past too, nowhere where they were planted at all........
I have some dizzy lilies and some stargazers that are held hostage by a hosta here...
will have to make a decision to let the lilies go or the hosta go........
the hosta is huge and the lilies came up through the hosta in the summer last year..........and not sure how to fix this. the only solution everyone says is one has to go........ the hostas are winter hostas and they are well over 80 years old...........and produce tons of flowers although I find they invasive..
and then the lilies well they can likely compete with the huge plant for much longer.....
