Muscadet is my favorite lily. I've been growing them for years but the rabbits love them too. They've been feasting on my Oriental and Asiatic Lilies regularly, so I decided to plant my new bulbs in pots this year. We have had a very dry Summer here in Michigan along with some extreme temperative changes - it's 94 degrees today - so I've probably had some days of underwatering and overwatering. And I'm sure I planted my lilies too close together. I've noticed darkening on the buds the past two weeks. The pots are in full sun. Finally got the first bloom today. Please take a look at the photos I took today and let me know if they are diseased or if perhaps it's the weather or something I've done?

Hello, and welcome to NGA, Jo!



I suggest you post this thread (or ask to have it moved) at the Lilies Forum, where a group of great experts can give you the right answer.

Thanks Ursula, it's been moved, anyone can suggest a move, the option is at the bottom of each thread.

Thanks, Sue!
