Yes You did! They where greatly appreciated!!! We are trying to pawn off
lilly divisions to folks in the KC area now. :-)
Seriously, how do you divide up the lilly roots? Do you just measure off an
inch or two and make sure that you have greenery and roots?
Our Colorado had two "Horns" growing out of the pot that where about a foot
long each. I thought that we woudl get 4 divisions off of this, but it
looks like we could get more from what you are describing. This lilly gave
us 5 blooms a day at the end of the season. Other lillies where also
growing out of the pots as well when I pulled them out of the bottom of the
pond 2 weeks ago.
Thanks again Tom

OK folks,
It looks like I will have to do it again this year. I gave a pond plant
seminar just recently and pulled one of my lily baskets out with a plant
in
it and took it out of the pot to use for demonstration and it was over a
foot long. I divided 12 plants off of it and gave away eight.
Last year I tried using even smaller divisions than I had used in the past
in hopes that they would grow slower, but it looks like they still grew
like
crazy.
Last year I got rid of 90+ plants last year for postage. The lilies are
cream, white, pink and mauve. I was planning on repotting this year
anyway
using pea gravel and it looks like I will have a bunch to ship out to any
body that wants any. I will really only be able to know the white one the
others are too close in appearance to figure out which is which so it is
pot
luck, but considering that it is for Priority Mail postage and handling
they
are almost free for what you are getting.
I sent 2 dozen to someone last year.
Everyone that has remained in contact has always been pleased with the
plants. So if you need any please send me how many you want and where you
are at (zip code), so I can tell what the postage and handling is going to
be for sending them to your address.
So if any one wants any please contact me privately. You can use any of
the
addys listed below, preferably my home addy.
Happy Ponding Season.
God Bless and Keep You and Yours,
Regards from Pawnee, OK, USA, Zone 7a, and Hope you have a "Great Day,"
