And---TA-DAHHHH!!!!

Planted these all last Summer! These are "bulbils" of my beautiful, orange (speckled with dark brown) Tiger Lily. Thought--WHAT DO i HAVE TO LOSE????? Planted all the ones I picked out of the axils in this little window-box.

Had this outside all winter--covered in leaves up against the concrete foundation of my house on the south side. When i was raking all the leaves out of my beds last week, I thought i should look at it and see what has happened???? Blew me away!!!!!! There were all these little Lily sprouts--the whole W-Box full! Happy!!! Happy!!!! Will have a lot to share in a later Plant Swat this year! Wonder how long it takes for these to reach blooming size?????? Anyone???????

I DO have a picture of this Lily--now I have to go find it!
