Lily's

19 years ago

I am a novice. Have new home and planting several flower beds. I have found lily's thrive in my area. I have a very elementary question. What do you call the 'bulb' that appears at the top of the stem after the flower dies?

Also does the plant reproduce through this means as well as multiplying underground bulbs? I would appreciate any information. Thank you

Those 'bulbs' at the top are seed pods and if you let them get ripe you will have lily seeds! I'm not sure if they will be true to the parent plant, being a novice myself. They also reproduce underground, isn't that fantastic? Anyway this link should help you alot. Good Luck
