I am a newbie that just bought herself 2 bags of 20 tiger lily bulbs.
They are starting to sprout but have difficulties. What kind of soil
and fertilizer would liger lilies love?

Thank you very much,
Alexandra C

Alexandrea, tiger Lillies are not fussy about fertilizers or soil
conditions, so long as they are not placed in ground that is waterlogged a
great deal of the time.
If you wish to fertilize I recomend Bonemeal added to the bottom of the hole
at time of planting,

Maybe I missed something. You have asked this question at least twice and
got answers. I believe that you sent me email which I answered. The
troubling part is that on December 9th. you wrote: " received this summer
some beautiful Tiger Lilies. They are my first
lilies and I don't know how to care for them very well." You also wrote:
"My plants (lilies - intense orange with tiny brown specks) are dying slowly
and I don't know why. The leaves start to show yellow "

Now you say that you just bought some "bulbs" and don't know how to care for
them and that they are just sprouting. Which is it?

Well, after that I felt better with all the advice and went out and
bought a different colour. I am sorry if you feel I have asked the same
questions. I wanted some more opinions on this. It will be my first
garden (when we finally manage to settle down) and I wanted it to be
perfect.
Thank you for your help and Merry Christmas!

Over in uk.rec.gardening, last week Birdieb was asking daft questions
about the 6ft wind-break hedge she needs to plant in her garden. This
week, birdieb is asking urg (again and again) about irises and says she
lives in an apartment without a garden. Other gardening groups are
being asked the same questions as rec/g and urg.


Yes, I picked-up on that. He/she must be counting on people having short
memories or didn't realize that Google archives newsgroup messages.

Maybe birdiebrain is suffering from early stages of oldtimers disease?

You can plug in any combination of information on the newsgroup search
page and get something related to it back to 1981 when their
predecessor started archiving all newsgroup post.
