Roosterlorn,
I don't know why but I had always thought of Lilies as being very delicate and difficult to grow, so I stayed away from them. Plus I did not really like the fact that you put the bulbs under the ground and then I could not keep up with where I put them. The squirrels are so bad about eating, breaking or carrying off name tags I never thought to seriously about Lilies. I grew Daylilies instead.
My mom gave me some Formosa Lily seed, I found out they grow super well here. My wife bought some Lilies for gifts and I planted some of those divisions (they are blooming now I and I need to get an ID on them) they have multiplied and grown very well also. Last year I planted Star Gazer Oriental Lily it was Amazing. So I have just recently gotten into realizing that I can actually grow Lilies and that they are so far, one of the easiest plants to grow instead of one of the most difficult.
I went to Sam's earlier in the year and bought a bag of twenty assorted Asiatic Lilies(I assume that is where the Lollipop Lily came from) and all twenty of the bulbs came up. I think all of them have buds and will bloom shortly so I will try and get Id's on them and let you know. I don't have much knowledge of Lilies, but it appears a lot of them would do very well indeed here.
Oh yeah, the good job of mulching I did...naturally falling Oak leaves. Of course you can't see it but I do add tons of grass clippings shredded leaves etc. during the winter. Then all that gets covered over by the oak leaves falling.
The picture is of an Asiatic Lily my wife bought at Lowes for gifts, I planted three of the bulbs and they have done great, do you recognize it, it was just called Asiatic Lily when she bought them.
