How do you get your rain lilies to bloom?   I did receive my lily!

Beautiful! Love the midnight embers. O0
I'm thinking I'm not going to have a very good lily season this year. May has been unusually cool. I normally have lots of pads by now and Gonnere has usually bloomed by now but I don't have many pads and I'm not even close to having blooms.  :-\

Wow, you have day lily explosion going on there! So much color, that's great  O0 Still waiting on my orange day lily to open its buds, but I think it is supposed to grow longer first so it may be a while.  I like your kitty cat planter...so cute.  Where did you get it?

Thanks.

These particular rain lilies seem to be blooming early this season.  The white with pink tips is new for me & I'm eager to see how well they do.  Most varieties seem to bloom in mid to late summer.

Kitty planter I've had for many years & probably got it at Garden Ridge.  Saw a really nice heavy pottery one on Craigslist but of course it was sold & the seller hadn't removed the ad.  Now I'm on the hunt for new kitty planters, LOL.

Gorgeous colors!  Wow with the mass of orange bloomers!  Lilies are beautiful as always but even more appreciated now since mine are barely sending up flowers.  Big deep breath and sighhhh.....thx for sharing all your beauties.

I meant to say I too love your lilies--mine haven't started blooming here yet.  I love the kitty planter, but I never see cute ones like that.  They remind me of ones my grandmother had.   :)

Really pretty.  I'm jealous - not one bloom yet, here in Houston.  I will have to fertilize more, me thinks.

Thanks for sharing.

Kitty planters are hard to come by, so it is something you've got to check for every season.  And like you've noticed, not all of them are cute.  Garden Ridge didn't have any animal planters this year that I liked.

No blooms in Houston?  That is strange because you are warmer than me.  I think I over fertilized some of my hardies because the pads are lunch plate size already, LOL.
