I posted a question regarding lilies but don't remember where I posted it. dahhhhhh My question is are the little black balls on the stems seeds and do they take long to start from seed?
Thanks

| Yes, those are seeds. As for how long they take to start growing from seed, I'm not really sure. I seem to have tiny lilies popping up everywhere, so I don't think it takes too long ;^) Laurie |

| Actually, they're bulbils, tiny new bulbs that will grow new lilies if planted (of if they fall into good soil.) They will take 2 to 3 years to reach blooming size. Pick them after the flowers fade and plant right away. If they dry out, they die. |
