I just got here and am glad to read the cautions about sudden lower temps.
I have sprayed my emerging lilies but not many are up.

We havehad snow in April here. I have that cloud of doubt that we have seen the last of cold weather.

BTW, the NALS convention will be in Minneapolis, MN in 2014.

Oh goody! I'll have to go to that just so I can eat my way through the cities. Cafe Latte, here I come!

Nice to have it close for a couple of years! Yay!

The only lilies popping up are those bulbets which I keep pushing back down.

Good! Count your blessings!

I am seeing lilies popping up all over the past two days as I was finishing up my spring prunning and cleanups. Hurray for lilies growing!

I am glad they are not popping up here. Temps have taken a nose dive and we expect frost this week. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
What a big change in temps already today. So glad they all stayed hidden yet. Unfortunately the flowering trees will suffer.

I think it is supposed to get cooler here next week also. It really has been unbelievably warm.

Blame it on elNino effect weather.

all my lilies are up...I have a handful that are already 18-24 inches tall!

I will cover my gardens to protect against frost on Tuesday night. Just another thing to worry about.

Those RED ALERT lilies today.

The frost will come tonight so lilies are covered. Not enough covers so some will have to fend for themselves.

I never cover mine. Once they start growing they are on their own.

Maybe the background will keep them warmer. We are due for killing frosts tonight.Temps in the mid 20's

Same thing here that our temps are expected to dip to 20's tonight.

However, nothing has come up as far as I can tell and it is so windy here today which makes the wind chill feel like we are in the teens.

Lucky you with no lilies showing. I was so excited to see mine,now I am killing myself getting them protected from the frost. Freezing means no blooms this year.

Same wind here to Julia.My eyes tear up and I cant see what I am doing. Its just a day to stay inside.

My lilies are up, too. I'm going to add some more this year, and may buy them in full bloom, so I will hasve blooms!

Oh they are so much cheaper plus you get a better selection if you just buy bulbs. This is the right time of year to plant them. Buy them now and plant and you will have blooms this summer.
