I have 2 lilies. One has thrown up a flower about a week ago. Don't
know what time it opens, but it starts to close about 5pm. Why do
they open and close.

They probably close because the insects that they depend on for
pollination are day insects. Closing protects the flower overnight
from heavy rains or whatever.

The other one has two flower heads at the surface but they don't
open. Can someone explain all this, or point me to a website. Ta

I never saw that before! They may be buds just not ready to open yet.

OK, I'll keep watching
