hi there! i have been wanting some suprise lilies, what color are they and check out my trade list and i can tell you what i have avaliable if you see anything you woud like! thanks so much!

Greening, I agree with NGraham that the best time to move these is when the foliage begins to yellow/die back. Unfortunately for you, that means after they've finished blooming. You could cut off the buds, I guess, or cut the flowers as they open and float them in water. I wouldn't cut too much of the stem along with the flowers, since the leaves on these usually go right up to the buds--and bulbs use their leaves to build and store carbohydrate reserves for next year's blooms. For that reason, I wouldn't recommend cutting the stems off now. Another option might be digging them up now, as carefully as you can and with as many of the roots intact as possible, and potting them. You could give them away in the pots. If you have a lot of them, you could try digging and potting a few to see how they take it. In general, they are pretty resilient and shouldn't mind being dug, but if your soil tends towards clay, it can be hard to get all of the roots when you dig. The lilies might hate that, or they might take it in stride. I haven't dug any when they were in bloom so I can't say. I'd definitely stick that one on the ground into a pot, water well, and put it in the shade. Again, I agree with NGraham: it will probably be fine, although it may not bloom next year. Good luck. They're beautiful plants; I, too, am sure you'll find some takers. Just try not to give them to folks who have lily beetle problems. Amanda

Do you have any of the voodoo lily bulbs left? I am new to the forum and I do not have a lot of plants or seeds for trade but I do have carpet coral plants and mother of a thousand plants to trade if you are interested. Thank so much

I would like to have some for postage. I recently moved into a house and looking forward to start a flower garden. Please let me know if you are willing to send me some.
