Hi, David, please give me your address. I will send you lily bulblets. You can send me a check for the postage later. My email address is pitimpinai@gmail.com Would you like tiger lily bulbs/bulbils too? I have a ton of them. I have just cut down lily stems so I won't be able to identify the bulblets.

I have Asiatic Grand Cru to trade or please see my trade list. I also have tall pink Phlox to trade.

From what you are saying you purchased a pot of blooming lilies. I have seen them in the stores and they have incorrect info in the pots. I think these people should be in court. They are leading people to think these are indoor blooming plants. Alina they are saying cut them back and they will bloom again. But if you do not know you would think they are going to bloom again in the same year. Vague info that only an experienced gardener would know that they mean next year. jenbplus3, the correct info should be..... After the plants finish blooming and the leaves die. Cut the plant down and they will bloom next year. The Asiatic bloom in the Spring. The Orientals will bloom later either early summer or late summer. You will probably have blooms for 2 to 3 weeks from each plant but they only bloom once during that period and will come back the following year. They need a cool period to bloom the next year is the reason they should be planted outside. If you want to grow them in pots you will need to keep the pot outside in a protected area that it will get cold but not too much moisture so the bulb will not rot from being cold and wet. At this point do not water let them dry in the pot and finish browning. If you keep it moist the bulb will rot. I hope this helps.

Your little brown bubblets (bulblets) are bulbils, growing in the axils of leaves (where the leaf meets the stem). Essentially, they are little bulbs growing in the air. They will not produce blooms up there, but you can plant them and produce an exact copy of the lily it came from. A lily reblooming in the manner you speak of is nonsense. There will be reblooming lilies coming into the market soon, but they rebloom because they produce additional stems that initiate multiple times during the growing season, not just in the spring. Hence, a sprout that comes up in mid June will bloom later than one that emerges in early May, and so you get "reblooming" from the same plant (but two separate stems).
