Are your lilies sprouting?

here is a pic of some NOID asiatics that i planted last month. they are shooting up!

Here is my 'MaDame Butterfly' I dug up a couple weeks ago. It is already 14"+ high.

Ah, aren't they all just a lovely site to behold. ;)

That Madame Butterfly already looks beautiful. We've got lots of martagons popping up now.

Andrew, the cage is for ??????

I put it on when it was small to keep squirrels and rabbits out. It also helped ward off small Emmas

And how is Emma sprouting?

LOL - a lily ark. Probably not a bad idea this year!!

She is sprouting pretty well. 33"+

You sure she's not a weed? She is growing so fast!

And she totally reminds me of you.

I have a hard time seeing me or my DW in her. Though when I see other kids sometimes I can see the mom and sometimes the dad.
I have several lilies popping up. My big daddy Buggy bulbs are still working their way through 8" of soil.

I think parents never see it, Andrew.

My marts are up.

I am eagerly waiting to see if my one and only mart. makes an appearance. It was planted in the fall so heres to hoping.

I'm surprised how tall they are already.

I keep mounding the compost up over my marts. but maybe it's not necessary any more? Most of the new ones I put in last fall have already made appearances. Meanwhile, we've started a big home construction project today, and the contractor's put up bright orange plastic fencing everywhere to protect the beds, and it'll be there till August I guess. At least we're guaranteed lots of color (orange) this year.

Emma's adorable. How old is she? My daughter's closing in on 2 1/2. Are they close?

She turned 20 recently.

20, or 02? Either way she's aged well!

20 months ^_^

What a little sweetie-heart, Andrew!!!

Laura, how's that little sprout of yours doing? :)

Diann

ps. I planted 17 varieties of lilies tonight. My finger are froze solid. Only 27 more varieties to go.. I know that's nothing to some of you, but my fingers are froze. :) LOL

They don't usually thaw out til June, right? ;)

Probably not till July or the dog days of August this year. :)

Hi Diann - Amelia's great, thanks for asking. Talking constantly, fishing in the pond, and learning her letters: OT, LA, etc.

Warmer weather's on it's way (I hope)!

I like the letters that child is learning!! :) One can only hope warmer weather is on it's way. :) LOL

I was out playing in the dirt this afternoon and evening, and I've got lily noses sticking up all over. Mostly Asiatic, but lily noses just the same. :) Good thing, that way I don't mess them up weeding. :)

My triumphator has been out for a while now but growing slowly because of the cold nights. Yesterday I saw I have alot of others just breaking ground.

They're really breaking ground now. Most everything is up except the Orientals and some OTs.

And getting a great soaking here today!

Same here ~ I've already got 1" in the rain gauge.

All I've got are martagons and a couple of Black Beauties. But the garden is still getting a lot more shade than it will in a few weeks. Tends to be slow waking up. Plus I went nuts with the compost. Have been gradually relocating it.

I planted ten new Mrs. R.O. Backhouse marts. in the fall and they've all shown up, which is pretty good, right? Can't say they'll all flower, but, still. Gosh, I can't wait for everyone's pictures.

The OT's Look like Shovel Handles coming up(-:

This warm day sent lots of stuff into high growth. 'Red Artiste' was a little poky and got chomped by slugs. I have my first martagon sprout 'Mahogany Bells' Wooohoooo! Very few of my seedlings have emerged though, along with nearly my entire new lily bed. I thought trumpets were suppose to be eager in the spring. The asiatic bulblets have the trumpet seedlings beat.

Hi Everyone, I hope I'm not interupting this thread with a Question. I went a little crazy this last fall & ordered about 40 oriental lily bulbs. Should I be seeing anything yet? So far, nothing.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Becky

Hi Becky, and welcome! Ask a question anytime.

I'm in a slighty warmer zone than you and most of my established lilies are up a couple inches, except for the orientals. The lilies planted just last Fall are not.

You may have to wait a handful more days for your fall planted bulbs to come up. I don't have any fall planted orientals up yet.

My orientals aren't up yet either.

Mine aren't up yet either, not to worry. They should be along in a bit.

Welcome Becky. Drop in anytime ^_^

Most of my Lilies are up several inches up to a couple feet.
Dennis

Mine aren't up either although my Triumphator was my first lily up and the asiatics are breaking ground.

I must say my lilies have made significant progress the last 3 or 4 days. More noses than I thought I had. Yeesh!
