Lilium Hybrids

Over the weekend Leti and I planted Lily bulbs in her garden.  Lilies are so versatile because they can be found all year round and come in a variety of colors like red, pink, yellow, orange, white, cream, green, and bi-colored.  One important note is that when the lilies open up make sure to take out the stamens because they will stain.

 

Some bulbs were already growing in the bag!

We used large terracotta planters with holes on the bottom for drainage. We added rocks to the bottom of the pot to prevent the soil from falling out of the holes and for better drainage.

We filled the pot with dirt about 3/4 of the way up.  Then we added 4 bulbs spacing them evenly in the pot.  Next we covered the bulbs completely with dirt.  The very last step was to place the pot in an area that gets partial to full sun and finally water them thoroughly.

We planted 18 total and hope at least one of them grows!  Will post updates on their progress.
