Re: Lily seeds - Hellp!

Ok then.  White growth is root growth.  Mine usully have green leaves
first, then roots.  However.  If you don't take them off the mother
plant manually, they just fall off any lay on the ground till they root
and then the roots will pull them under.  I just put in a pot or scatter
them round the base of the mother plant and scarcely cover with soil. 
Then I keep them watered but not flooded (don't want the mother bulb to
rot).  Or--- pot them up and sink the pot in the ground, somewhere where
you can keep an eye on things.  

Think you better get hold of your local lily society and buy a book they
put out called "Lilies'(what else!!!) Cost is about $3. PB

Have fun with them.

When you buy more lilies- am sure you will - don't put them anywhere
near these.  These sound  like tiger lilies.  They carry but are not
harmed by various lily viruses.  If you grow them within aphid/ant
distance of other lilies, the aphids (if you  get any) may spread virus
to other lilies.

I grew my tigers about 60 ft. from the other lilies and never had any
problems.

Good luck.
