Re: Lily beetle

I'm trying some Asiatic Lilies again Kitty. Remember we had this discussion
a long time ago. I THINK you said I should be able to grow them. I've never
had luck with them, but I'm giving a few a shot in my new raised bed that
is much better drained. It's the one garden I can work in at the moment.
I'll take pictures when it fills in a little. Took pictures of the orchids
last night for y'all to see.
