Why didn't you show us what an actual tiger lily looks like with the flower on the stem?
Great and Thanks 🙂 Can you get tiger lily in powder form :)?
I don't know if you reply to your coments, BUT! Do Tiger lillies only bloom once a year? If anyone out there sees this and can answer my question, I will be very very happy. THANKS!
enjoyed the video. want to increase the number of plants I have. I have plenty of orange ones but just got a few yellow, red and peach ones given to me. do you know if I can divide the root bulbs to get more plants? the couple red ones have a bunch of root bulbs on the couple stems. ty, John 🙂
Thank you for your video about Tiger Lily Flowers. I noticed your cat walking around in your garden and you spoke of lilies being brought in the house.. It would be a good opportunity to point out to viewers that Lilies are extremely toxic to cats – all parts including bulb, leaves, pollen.. LILIES CAN BE FATAL TO CATS. Thank you!
I have a lot of tiger/ ditch wild lilies and would like to use them in arrangements. When I cut them to bring inside they die by the next day. How can I preserve them to last for a longer period of time.
Those aren't seeds. They are small bulblets. These flowers are sterile.
Thank you!:)
The little black things on the stems at the leaf junctions are called bulbils.They are not seed but are baby bulbs. They cannot seed. If you'll wait until they get loose from the stem you may be able to see a tiny rootlet under them that looks like a pea. Plant them in pots of good garden soil and water them until winter. They will live unprotected. They're very hardy. In late spring they will have one leaf. They aren't dead… Leave them out and keep them though you don't see progress. They are developing below the soil. and by the third season they should set bulbils Note: Tiger Lillie's die back to the ground every fall. They are in the onion family and are toxic to cats in particular.
