Celebrating Gardening: 2015
The asciatics did fine and seemed to blooming ok and they have a bit of shade......
but the OT's and Regale and most of the other ones have burnt buds......
We are way up in the low 90's here and that is not the norm for zone 5a usually
but this year the heat has been unreal.....
it will be even warmer next week...........
so likely will not be posting to many blooming lilies unless we get a cold snap and some rain
watering by hand and mulch did nothing for this year...
Frustrated and hope the lilies come back ok next year.....
Do I just cut off the burnt buds??

will post some of the ones that are blooming right now on the 2016 thread.......

can not predict the weather
and not seen anything like this in any lilies I have planted ever

if not the heat then the lily beetle is the culprit too....
got them under control with 1/3 sunlight soap, 1/3 ammonia and the rest water to equal one quart.......
works good but needs to be done every 5 to 7 days.......
