Paul, I loved your videos! Very helpful and what a personality!! Keep 'em coming. One I'd like to see would be on spraying for the non-sprayer. The simplest, easiest, least expensive while still effective way to occasionally spray Hybrid Musks which in my yard get blackspot. I know it sounds like I'm lazy, but really it's a very scary thing to me with all those expensive chemicals to choose from. I also don't want to be locked in to weekly spraying, and I don't want awful chemicals. I bought sulphur and copper but I don't know what to do with them. (I just read that these ARE pretty bad chemicals!) And now you're saying, "No way, lady." And I understand. I was just wishing. But I'm sure I'm not alone. Thanks for the great videos. Sherry

It's a little hard to tell from the pic how thick the mulch is, too much mulch can cause wet feet. My initial thought was perhaps really cloudy weather, or perhaps a drainage problem. As the leaves age, you might see a color change. It looks like some small leaves at the bottom of the rose are starting to green up a bit.

The tuteur is 3 foot tall, so these foxtail lilies, Eremurus 'Roford', were only a little taller than that when the picture was taken some years ago. My bulb list says that this variety gets 30-48 inches tall. They eventually got a little over 4 foot tall, because I remember being surprised one year to see them well above the tuteur and the Clematis tangutica 'Sheriffi'. I also started with 3 roots (quite large & strange looking, as I remember) & after a few years had 7 or so flower stalks. Foliage at the bottom was minimal. I planted them in my gravel bed, gave them no care whatsoever, no fertilizer (this particular clem doesn't need any, very vigorous), no supplemental water, left them up over winter & they did fine until the gravel bed flooded one season & rotted (I presume) them out. P.S. white flower to the left bottom is a penstemon, either Husker Red or Alba, I still have both in that bed.

The technical term is bulbil, and it is how some lilies multiply. For some types of lilies, bulbils are produced every year, while others grow them only under certain conditions and usually do not produce bulbils. Unlike seedlings, bulbils are exact replicas of the mother plant, and will produce the same flowers. You can remove them when they are ready to fall off by themselves, and plant them a quarter to half inch deep. Leaves may or may not emerge this season, but will definitely be produced next spring.
