I feed with BulbTone after bloom and when the plants emerge in spring. I planted these bulbe in 2008 and in 2010 they had tree trunks and grew 7 feet tall. This year there were more stems,shorter lilies and smaller blooms.We also had a freakie spring. #1 Nice pix from 2009 #2 79 inches tall with 2 inch diameter stemsin 2010 #3 2011 Stems are shorter #4 2012 bloomed earlier with thin stems and half as tall I hope they recover and return to the 2011 size. I have Casablancas that are really going away no matter what the spring weather is like. I am resighned to replace lilies that just poop out. |
