Most lilies IME are thankful for what they're given.


What? Yer actual lily-type lilies, not your not-significantly-related
day ones?


Well, I was basing the observation on day lilies and tiger lilies.
Should I have tried a wider pool?


Well, tiger lilies are undeniably true lilies...looks in books...they
do seem to make a point of "well-rotted", and Hellyer even says that,
apart from bone meal and hoof and horn on poor soils, animal manure
shouldn't be used at all. So maybe views are evolving, and the pendulum
is swinging your way; in fact, perhaps you're the swinger...
