Unfortunately, at 5'2" I can see the tops but cannot photograph without help.

We have excellent luck with container plantings for lilies. I truly do not know if they form as many blooms as those in the ground. It will take a few summers to find out.

Donna, because the containers are so large, they are planted pretty deep, and the soil level is about 10-12 inches from the top. While they are still small, they have some protection from the wind.
