My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Lilies blooming (nearly)

21 years ago

We have Orange Oriental lilies (in two pots) and they are just about to 'pop' into blooom. My question is regarding the green "non blooming" foliage, do we cut it down? or is it best to just let it all grow? My first thought is to remove it to allow all the nutrients go to the flowers, but am unsure. Please advise.
