I got back from a week in the Los Angeles area and found my Easter lilies in full bloom. That was a nice surprise. I used to collect Easter lilies from my church and put them in the yard after the blooms died. They may last a couple of years, and then die off. My sister came across one bunch 5 years ago that was a terrific grower and bloomer - she had one stalk with over 20 blooms, and must have had 20 bulblets around it. She has been dividing that patch, and gave me some last year. I am hoping that they will be perpetual bulbs for me too.
