Lily Inventory

Asiatic lilies:

CG likes the deep green foliage and the large blooms of asiatic lilies. However, he hasn't had that much success growing them. A nice start of red asiatics was started in 2005, but all of them got ravaged by a neighborhood rabbit. A few might have survived, and CG will be on the lookout for any signs of them in a few weeks. He is hesistant about trying any more asiatics, but regular $7 to $11 plants that are on sale for a dollar are difficult to pass-up.

A 2005 planting of about 6 of these has yeilded one very strong plant and 8 to 10 immature plants. They were $1 wal mart specials, and survived heavy canine traffic and digging.
