I planted a few lily bulbs in pots last spring...and they have been so amazingly gorgeous !
big waxy petals....orange pistils with velvety pollen...almost otherworldly.....I'm hooked ..I'm planting more more more next year...
here's the buds.....and the sedum Autumn Joy...that they look so perfect along side.....
pale pink.....
these are Oriental lilies.....easy to grow....just plant in the sun in soil that's good garden soil, and that drains well.....no sogginess or they'll rot. Lots of sun but not a hot spot, or they'll fry. Some afternoon shade will make the blooms last longer than 2 or 3 days.......
Sedum Autumn Joy ...tiny blossoms in the large floret umbels......
White......
after bloom, leave the stalks and the leaves to build up food for next year. I'm bringing the pots inside the garage to overwinter in dry conditions.....and then repot in fresh soil next spring.
and....the bird feeder...from the cat's eye view.....that's a chickadee butt
