Lilies in My Garden

Everyone loves lilies! And today I want to show you the lilies in my garden. There aren’t that many of them, but I try to plant them so that they catch your eye as soon as you walk into the garden. Grown from bulbs, lilies are perennials that require minimal care when planted correctly.

 

Lilies belong to the genus Lilium and grow from plump, scaly bulbs. They come in an endless variety of colors, shapes, heights, and enchanting scents, including pink, gold, red, orange, and white. Lilies burst in with kaboom blossoms at an interlude when most flowers are in a holding pattern.

Lilies love full sun, and six hours or more is a must. They like to have their “head in the sun and their feet in the shade.” With their fragrance, sturdy stems, and large petals, lilies are perfect for the garden. 

I usually don't cut my lilies, I feel sorry to deprive them of the land where they grow and bloom for several years. 

If your lily lice are suffering from a lily beetle infestation, try sprinkling some dolomite (lime) powder on the unopened lily buds and the beetle will go away.

All the best. Take care!
