I was reminded the other day by my blogging friend, the indomitable Mr K at Rivendell Garden Blog , that I am sorely lacking in the lily department. Quite why this has happened is puzzling. The gardens that I work in all have them, many bought and planted by myself. They do well in planters and I certainly am not shy about pot culture. I have even written about them for The Country Gardener magazine, extolling their virtues. It certainly is a mystery.
As luck would have it a catalogue arrived yesterday, with pages and pages of glorious lilies for sale. Now I understand what the problem is. I can never quite make my mind up which of these beauties to grow. Decisions, decisions ……
I’d suggest you go for ones with green leaves. This makes is much easier to spot the lily beetles. Just don’t forget to remove the anthers.

Yes, with so many “visitors” I think I will have to remove them!
