Vases/cups of lilies

Winnipeg, MB(Zone 2b)

Somebody has been pulling up and REMOVING lilies in my Guerrilla comunity garden. Double and triple rats. Luckily so far only duplicates taken. Ones that I was growing on to donate to bulb sale down the road.

Unfortunately I also have awhole bed of new lilies there too. so....... am now picking every stem as they bloom. Have a wonderful horde of lilies all over the house.

Viva,
Dark Moon
Vanilla (HUGE LA)
Fuchia Lady (Historic Patterson I think)
Evening Star (LA)
3 red ones
2 tangos

So, am collecting pollen that I want but no back crosses this year.

Bother.

Think I'll move iris over there and plant special lilies in my house garden.

It is really sad actually, because in the fall I give bulbs to all who want them. Oh well.

Busy spreading 2 compost boxes to dig into !@#$ rotten clay that we have here. Supposed to be the last cool day. Supposed to get a heat wave for the next week, starting tomorrow.

I'm so sorry you're having that kind of trouble! Too bad you have to cut all your lilies but at least you can enjoy the blooms without losing the whole dang thing.

Dirty dogs......

Inanda,
What a shame. I don't see the sign that says dig at your leisure on your plot!
Some people have nerve!
