Asiatic Lily pups
Though this BEAUTIFUL flower is only above-ground part of the
year, its is really gorgeous. Many Web sites w/pictures. Question: Looks like at least one of my Asiatic Lilies is growing a pup. Anybody out there could tell me whether it's safe to transplant the pup? TIA Persephone |

Make a note on your calendar in the late fall, bulb planting season. Maybe include a sketch or photo or some other way you can find the spot later. I have a bunch of bulbs earmarked for transplanting. Some I have been meaning to move for years, but every fall I forget all about them. I did manage to transplant several last fall and the results are gratifying. I also tried to transplant some in the spring. (No other choice; plants destined for the same spot were already ordered and paid for.) Most of them look like I killed them. If they survive, they will take years to recover. Una |

Shoulda been obvious transplant when dormant! Also mark the spot(s). I didn't do it last year, so was afraid to dig up to plant temporary color. This year will definitely mark. Persephone |
