?Anyone had this happen?Buds opening too early?

14 years ago

On one of my oriental lilies,a bud has just started to open.My asiatics have at least three unopened buds on them.I know that Orientals bloom AFTER asiatics.

I know it's opening too early because the outside of the bud is still green.And the tips of the petals beginning to unfurl are green too.The color is about half an inch away from the tips.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

Also,i noticed one other thing.The bud just basically stopped opening,and it's at a pause right now.what's up with this.It's what i wanted,but i'm afraid the bud-bloom if just going to drop.

I too am interested in hearing responses to this, as I have about 25 Stargazers in pots in my greenhouse, and several of THEM are starting to do the same thing you are describing...tiny green buds are furling backwards like they are opening, but they are incredibly premature.
