Hi Joanna
Love talking lilies.
My trumpets bloomed beautifully this year, too. Post bloom, some stems tipped over and laid horizontal. I left them alone and ⁸they went dormant like they normally do. I trimmed the stalk when they turned dry & brown and then uprighted the bulb and pressed the dirt firm. I'll re-think my staking next year.
I won't lay chicken wire protection and mulch heavily until the ground freezes in late fall.
Remembering our glorious summer:
