Tucked away for winter
« on: November 08, 2006, 08:54:53 PM »
The lilies have been tucked away for winter for a couple of weeks now.  Today was sunny and very warm so I thought I’d open one end of the tent and whoa!  The fragrance ‘bout knocked me over.  Though having cut back all the leaves and crowding them in their winter home, they still seem happy.

Will they continue to bloom like that for you all winter?  And do you fertilize them?

Yup, Oklahoma, zone 7a.   I do have some that bloom all winter and many shut down if it gets too cold Teresa.  Because of the lower light levels of winter and the cold, I may only feed lightly once or twicefrom Nov. thru Mar.
Timgod, the colors in the photos wash out frequently, which fools one into thinking it's some kind of special lily but is really common.  Again, my cheap camera allows the green to wash, but the lily you asked about in the foreground is Green Smoke. :)

Hope not Sean, I got a heater on one end and a pump to cycle the water end to end. ;)

It's just something I put together for a little protection from the elements.  Kinda like the greenhouse out of PVC in my 'Taint purdy but.....' post. :)
