Hi,
Last year I bought this lily in a pot. I planted it when it was 2-3 feet high,and it blossomed. However come late summer, August? maybe, it turned brown and I thought it had died. Well I was excavating where it was planted and found this bulb that is firm but has these brown spots on it. Also it is June and it hasn't started to grow yet. So is this thing a dud, sick, or just plane shy?
