Lilies: What I did with my rotted lily bulb and the results, 1 by Joy

Last spring I got a lot of lily bulbs from a Co-op group I belong to. I didn't get them all planted right away. By the time I did get to them some had started growing and I found my one and only New Wave bulb was rotting.
Well I was really upset with myself, I really wanted this lily. I cleaned off the rotted parts of the bulb and found that a few parts of it were rot free. So I dipped the few pieces I found that looked ok in a 10% bleach and water bath then went ahead and planted them in a container. They grew little leaves last summer but that was all. The picture below shows what they look like today. They've done very well and are starting to look like a lily plant. I think there's a good chance I may even get some bloom this year. I was able to save my lily.
