Lovely flowers, I would have more of them if it wasn't that they seem to attract the lily beetle.

I never had problems with that pest while I had them on my balconies. A year or two after this one was taken we moved to another flat with a much, much bigger space out of doors & even there I had no problems.
.
Not grown them in the UK but I have a number of seedlings on the allotment that germinated last year. So this will be their 2nd year.

I hope you don't get them at all! They wreck the plants if you don't catch them first!

I've heard that as well & I certainly will keep a look out for my seedlings on the allotment. Thanks.

some of my lilies survived this year after all the flowers being eaten the previous year!

Wish you both luck with your Lilies in the future.

I have some seedlings down on the allotment but I don't expect to see flowers on them till next year, their 3rd. I haven't grown any since returning to the UK nearly 12 years ago.
.
These I grew several years in Cuenca & on a balcony that easily reached 40C in summer! That was waaayyy back in 1990-1!
