   So graceful. Is it planted or wild?
   From what I understand the wild ones are struggling due to constant deer munching, but this one looks great.
   I have two or three seedlings but as of year 3 or 4 they’re still just barely 5 inches tall… I don’t think I’ve found a good spot for them (yet)!

     These are wild, and yes, the deer and voles will munch them, along with those dratted European lily beetles. When the seeds ripen, we spread them in favorable places – moist open meadows, part to full sun. Will tolerate dappled sunlight. It can take 5 years to bloom from seed!

   I’m going to refer this to a priest friend, who likes to quote an old monk’s favorite saying, “The Way up is the way down.” Or is it the other way round.. . . Anyway, Sunday is good for memorable words and images. (I never saw flowers grow down; but maybe I’ve never looked.)

   Lovely! I wish lilies (of all kinds) found my garden more hospitable.

    LOVE! Mine – I think they are the same, Turk’s Cap? – haven’t quite bloomed yet but they have risen and look big and strong in spite of the thugs all around them. Beautiful!
    • Eliza Waters says:

      July 10, 2017 at 1:22 pm

      Thank you, Kathy. Yes, Turk’s Cap they are. I love this sweet native, but so do many other critters, unfortunately.

        Not around our house, but I have seen them other places. But they are not common here.
