Yes, I guess you do. And now that I checked with Google I know what that is, and the significance of it. Thanks.

They don't seem to be as happy this year. Maybe it is my imagination or maybe they got too much rain. They are just about ready to bloom. Beegood ~ We should go plant shopping today. It is so beautiful that I should be out in the garden but prefer air conditioning in the heat of the afternoon. You up for coffee at Greenland?

Lilium Tigrinum is a synonym for Lilium Lancifolium. Most of the time we probably use L. Tigrinum or L. Lancifolium to distinguish them from the common (and often despised) "ditch lilies" which are occasionally incorrectly referred to as tiger lilies, also. sub-species of L. Lancifolium in cultivation include; flaviflorum which has yellow flowers. fortunei which is a large form with woolly stems, and splendens a vigorous growing plant with noticeably larger flowers.

Yes, that's a Lilium Lancifolium... tiger lily. I think they're fabulous. They do come in other colors - yellow, cream, lavender, pink. I actually found a package of mixed at KMart years ago, but the other colors have all either petered out or reverted to orange. You might find them at some real specialty bulb mail order company. I've simply learned to love the orange. Very easy to grow - the bulbils just fall naturally, dig themselves in and sprout around the parent plant. The first year growth is a single shiny lanceolate leaf (could be mistaken for a grass or a weed and pulled up or dug over). The second year is a spindly plant that looks like the parent. They reach blooming size in three or four seasons. I'm surprised you didn't get anything - the germination rate seems to be about 100%, if my yard is any indication. If you've got bulbils from your plants now - don't save them in a bag, scatter them now since this is the time they're dropping and seeding on their own. Sunny location marked so you know where they are. And no need to push them more than barely, if that, into the soil - the little white root foot pulls them down. You can also put some in a pot and leave outside for a couple of seasons until they can be transplanted easily. We don't get the red lily beetle. I've also read it's best not to plant tiger lilies with other lilies because they can be some kind of disease carrier that could infect fancy Orientals, etc. If you want to move the ones you have, let the stalks and leaves turn brown. Cut the stalk down just to make it easy on yourself and dig deep since you'd be surprised how far down they've pulled. Judging by the size of the plant in your picture, the bulb should be fairly large. Replant 6" down in any sunny location.
