The Lilies on My Patio

I don't have any tip to share but I am so proud of my garden/patio this year... I just had to share this with you. I don't have much space so I'm a container gardener. Two days ago I woke up and found that my lilies were opening. Aren't they beautiful?

My MOM'S FAVORITE!!! Tip when cutting for the house: Cut out the center "pistals" which carry the rusty pollen powder that gets all over everything when slightly bumped. Use a quick snip of the scissors and catch them in a paper sack to toss. You
won't miss them at all and it will not affect the remaining "life", although flowers are dead the minute they are cut from the plant. I've probably bought at least fifty of these Stargazer
potted plants for my mom over the years. She never
tires of them, but I only learned of the tip above this
last year, watching a floral attendant doing it in the
shop. I'm happy to finally see someone that can grow them at home! Enjoy, thanks for sharing your picture, and God bless.

Wow! These are so beautiful! I have never planted Lilies. We have exotic hostas and day lilies here in Colorado
