Lily flower questions:
 
My lilies are blooming and I have a few questions:

Do "hardies" normally last just three days? Mine did that.

Do you remove the "old" flower right away, or does it matter? I
wondered if the plant regained nutrients from them?

My red lily put up one flower, then almost stopped growing. A new bud
died. It is now putting out more leaves.

My yellow lily is "leafing", budding and blooming like "crazy". It
actually has two "heads". I didn't notice that when I planted it.

How many of you use "water plant tablets" to feed your lilies? That
may be what the red one needs, although they are planted in the same
soil.

don't foul the water

is now putting out more leaves. red lilies do not like the sun or heat....if
it is hot where you live it will come back in fall

I think having two "heads" means it's ready to be divided, if you want.
