Our lily season is starting too - here is Lily 'Tiny Bee'

Post by Chris_W »

Last fall I had quite a few Tiny Bee bulbs leftover, and I never got them in the ground. They were in a plastic crate, outside, unprotected from sun, snow, and cold. I basically forgot to plant them and then once it had snowed on them a few times... Well, I figured they were goners. This spring the bulbs still seemed healthy enough, a little sunburned maybe, but we planted them and they all came up :D I'm glad they survived cause they are putting on quite the show at the front of the driveway.

Enjoy!

Chris
