| Someone on this forum told me they are really lilies? Here are the first blooms, planted six bulbs early this Spring.

| Do they multiple Annette? I may want to move them, as I think they are a little taller than I wanted in that space. They are pretty aren't they? |

| I only grew them in pots as they won't winter here, they are classed as tender bulbs. I let them go dormant in the fall and started them up again in the spring, not putting them outside until it warmed up, Mayish. I don't think you will be able to winter yours in the ground, best to dig them before frost. I believe they will multiply but I didn't have mine long enough to find out. Annette |

| Oh, those are very pretty! I planted 10 of them and am waiting for bloom. What is the pretty blue plant in the container behind it? Campanula? |

| They used to be classified in the lily family, but now in Amaryllidaceae. They do multiply. I just keep them in a pot which I put in the ground in the summer, and then just pull out and put in the garage for winter. Unfortunately, last fall I forgot to bring them in, which is too bad because they'd multiplied so much that they needed to be divided. But I found and bought more this spring, and they are now about to bloom. |

| The blue flower is Lobelia, an annual. Dig the bulbs up in the Fall? I wonder if that will be the case for me? I'll have to do some research, as I am not good at remembering to dig up bulbs for the winter. |
