lily bulbs.


lily bulbs. (Lilium asiatica)

left in small pots at the back of the garden. Found them today and relieved to see how healthy they are. So now nicely potted up in fresh compost in much bigger pots.

They do look healthy SBG, what colour are they ? went to repot mine but already sprouting, damn left it too late again,lol.
Really excited today though sowed some swapped seed of lilium michauxii way back last year in september I think, didn't hold out much hope for them as they'd got a bit crushed in the post, but today noticed they've started to sprout, know it'll be a while before they flower but excited all the same,can't wait :-)))

well that is the $60 million question. they are either white, pale pink or crimson. time will tell. I bought them at £1 a pot late last year for instant colour. 3 bulbs per pot so good value from a discount garden centre near me.

L michauxii looks pretty. several years before flowering I suspect.

Wow that was a bargain, which ever colour sure they'll be lovely, look forward to seeing them in flower :-)
