Lily Pods
 
I pulled a few lily pots from my pond today to ease the overcrowding and
found several round pods growing on some apparently unpinched blooms. Are
these of any use and why do they grow. It seems most of the old blooms just
go to mush, although I have heard of dead heading before the blooms go to
seed.
Thanxx
