Lily seed pods?
I have found one round, hard, poppy seed, like pod on my hardy lily.
Anyone know what this is? I cut it off before sinking the plants and am attempting to dry them. My neighbor says they are seed pods. I have never seen them or heard of them on other lilies. I have also heard that the best depth for lilies is about 18". I took a pitiful looking, end of the season, clearance, $1.00 on sale, hardy lily from Lowes, over wintered it my pond; after a few weeks of growth in the spring, I dropped it to 4 feet 'just for fun and as an experiment." Leaves reached 10 1/2 inches across, only fertilized once (I promise to fertilize more often next season! :-) ), and there are three huge rhizomes trying to grow out of the pot. I am looking forward to dividing all my lilies and instead of having 3 pots, I will have 5 - 7. Question: Was this just a 'fluke' or will lilies really grow that well, that deep? Thanks for the flowers! W. Dale |
