Tag: Lily babies

Awhile back, maybe 2 weeks ago, I noticed something dark on the top of one of the lilies fading foliage.  I knew that lily hadn't bloomed this year, it must have been too young.  So, I took a  closer look,  they really looked the same as the lily bulbs that we planted very early this spring, only very tiny.  So, I plucked them off and brought them inside, the more I looked at them the more I was convinced that these were tiny babies.  I stuck them in a small tray of soil, only about half way up the bulb.  Today I checked on them, they all have roots starting!!  I am going to plant them a little deeper and keep them going until I can plant them outside later this fall when the temps aren't so hot.  Pretty cool!!!

Here they are...all four of them.
