I planted an Asiatic lily this spring which due to the late planting made buds very late. IÂm happy it made buds at all because many of the others did little or nothing except some short stalks. Another bulb of the same variety bloomed in mid September.

It has 3 buds and IÂm looking forward to seeing a lily blooming in November! We had enough frost to zap the dahlias and many annuals but these buds do not seem affected. I donÂt think I could repeat this again if I tried.
