Salmon Classic - Here's the story. I bought these as potted lilies last summer and they bloomed in the pot. I had three of them. The plan was to get them in the garden in the fall and I set them aside and forgot about them. Then the plan was to unpot them and pack in peat moss and into the fridge for the winter. I brought them into the house, set them in a corner where they wouldn't come to harm and once again forgot about them. I ran into them again a number of weeks ago; maybe sometime in November and all three of them were growing stems. Mind you, no water in probably 6 or more weeks. At that time, I wrestled with deciding to repot and see what happens and putting in the fridge as is. I decided to repot and put them in an east facing window. The stems are a little spindly and the cats have been grazing on the leaves they can reach. All three were setting blooms and there is also lily grass growing (as Inanda likes to call the lily seedlings). I'm pretty amazed by these blooms, but it sure is a cherry sight when it's so cold out. I can only think that the stems are coming from immature bulblets that did not grow or bloom last summer. Any thoughts??? Do I have a reblooming lily here??? Wouldn't that be something if it were!
