Asiatic Lilies

This lily is also blooming in our wild garden. One of my students gave me a 4 inch pot of these more than twenty years ago.
We planted them in the terraced beds, and they were really pretty. They grew and multiplied until there were about 50 blossoms. Then the deer discovered them, and that was the end of that. I was able to rescue a few of the bulbs and move them to the wild garden.
We planted them near the top of the garden, and as the years have gone by, they have migrated to the middle and bottom of the bed. I think moles dig tunnels, and the bulbs travel through them. That, or the squirrels are replanting them. Who knows!!! I'm just glad to see a few orange blossoms every year.
These will satisfy my need for lilies until Roxanne's bloom. That will be soon; they are loaded with buds.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
