silly lilly questions....need answers...
I am not really familiar with lilies other than daylilies...I have some oriental lilies, and they have seed pods on top of the stem, and small dark Plantlets??? at the base of leaves below the seed pods. Am I right in thinking they may be plantlets? If not, what are they? Also, when do I dig my Pink Tiger lily? We are moving and I want to take it with us, as well as my turks turban lily....do I dig them at the same time?
The little, dark things are bulbils. Although not seeds, they will grow into lilies if planted.
Dig your lily bulbs after a frost. They cannot be stored dry. If you cannot replant them right away, store them in slightly damp peat moss in a plastic bag in a cool, dark place and plant as soon as possible. They will winter over better in the ground than in storage.

Many a great tune has been played on an older fiddle.
