I received some Lilies as a gift. They are dying off now for the fall season in NY. I don't know what kind of Lilies they are. They grow about 33" tall and the pods are about 1" and brown. They are shaped like a tulip. When I went to weed, they made a rattling sound. Inside the pod were hard black seeds or insect eggs. Which are they? If they are seeds, how do I preserve them over the winter and what time do I plant them in the spring.

naturedoc, I think you would have a good chance they would thrive. I have found peace lilies to be very tolerant, as long as the root itself is not rotten, etc. Sounds like they need to come out of that pot anyway, so I would give it a shot. If they are too very hard to separate, might be better to leave them together til they recover a bit before dividing.
corky66, I can't think what kind of lily that would be that would make a seed pod like that, unless it is an iris?
