More leaves, more larger leaves, stems and bigger spaths are probably the reason for the droop and not from lack of water. If you can get your hands on some somewhat thin, but sturdy Y shaped, or straight branches from trees, that would help keep the stems upright. Push the branch down into the soil until stable, hiding them as best you can between/within the foliage. Loosely tie the plant stems with pieces of a soft material to the sticks, like a brown, or green color. The tree branches seems to blend in more making the support a little less noticeable I use branches for my outdoor garden when needed and you can hardly detect them they blend in so well. Billy Rae

Hi, I have Black Beauty Lily. I think I moved it and I didn't see it bloom this year, but I bought it because of those reports that it was less effected by Red Lily Beetles. I was disappointed to see damage on it. Was it less damage then others? Well, maybe. The leaves seem thicker than my CasaBlancas, so maybe that's the reason. But still, they didn't look very good with the damage they had. So, I think the focus still needs to be keeping the RLLB in check, rather than finding plants they don't damage. Sorry.

It varies by location. Mine in full sun,elevated location against a west wall will bloom in early mid May but a neighbor's plants that only get a few mid day hours of sun bloom a month later.

Great pictures. I really love your bulb lilies!! I am drawn to the Tango ones. I didn't realize you had the trumpet form lilies also. I like Grace Like Rain, I was so close to getting it, but due to diminishing space and then going to Curt Hanson's place, well, you know how that goes. Really something can be said for the ditch lily. It is beautiful when planted like that. I have some planted on the lake bank, along with the Kwanso, and I do like to see them in bloom. I will always have them planted there, even talked a neighbor into planting some on her bank too! cindy
