Lilies

 

 

The orange and cream color lilies in planting pots on the back deck have started to bloom this week.

I first planted the bulbs 2 winters ago. They bloomed last year and then receded over the winter. This is their second year and the number of bulbs and plants have increased.

Unfortunately, the lilies crowded out the tulips (planted in the same pots) which tried to grow and bloom first.

They co-existed great last year - the tulips blooming first - than the lilies a couple months later.

But this year - the lilies quickly overgrew the tulips and took over.

Looks like I may have finally found something to grow in the deck pots that even my brown thumb can't kill.
