Moby and I must have gotten the same strain - slower than turtles.

African is a trumpet lily...aurelian

Lilies should be fertilized as they come up and just after they bloom. They are heavy feeders. If not using them for hybridizing, cut the spent blooms off (not the stalk) after bloom. Setting seeds takes energy from the plant.
