Star Gazer Lily Buds

lol cant wait either Jacque, mine are close to opening too

When are they ever going to open Jacque? Mine are about 4' high now but with a bit of pink showing. Must be soon surely.

mine have been open for the last few days ~it's all that rain!

Iv got a Pic this Morning of My 1st 1 open Arlene :)

I have had mine in a pot for the last ten years but they are not so good this year only 4 flowers~will do repot and feed for next year I think.I still have some lilies bought this year to flower though.

Sounds a good idea Arlene :) I repot mine every year 2 renew its compost & i also feed them weekly with tomatoe food :)

I have been using these slow release bulb granules but maybe should try the tomato feed~are you using it full strength?

Yes Arlene & i water them every 10 days :)

~thanks Jacque! will give that a try!Funny thing is I threw some unknown lily bulbs( bought cheaply because no one knew what they were)into a pot and they have been terrific~loads of flowers!
The trouble is I don't like the bright fluorescent orange...!

YW Arlene :) Orange Lillies are lovely when put beside some Red Plants ie Geraniums , Begonias ! I do this with my Orange Day Lillies :)

~It's not a nice orange....

? iv never seen a horrid Orange Lily Colour Arlene ? Im sorry u hate it so much :(
