Wow! What have you been feeding them? Those bulbs must be huge!

At least you have a convenience plant stake with your lamp post there :D

:lol: I don't feed them anything. they have been there for about 3 years. I guess all the rain and they get full sun all day. I have them tied every which way I can to the Lamp Post so they don't fall down. They smell fantastic too!

My Casa Blancas are somewhat drought stricken:

So lovely :D

Mine is low, just hardly 5 feet high :lol: but very lovely and so easy

Last year I had a pink trumpet lilly 6 foot tall, nice for sure, but i am not a big fan of pink anything, but my neighbours had noticed it and now they are asking for the tall one I had last year. I still have it, it is just a bit more than 4 feet tall this year so I have to tell them to turn their faces just a bit, there is a soft yellow one 6 feet high. so beautiful this year :D
I have never tied mine up, do you need to do it, it is very windy here :-?

I did not remove the seedpods last year, is it a good idea to remove them ? Could it be the reason it is lower this year ??????????

12 or 13 years ago I pulled all my lillies due to the lilly beatle we have, they were just too ugly even they bloomed, but now a friend import some pyrethum (crysantenum) and a few sprayings kkep them lovely.

If you ever see a nice looking orange beatle, KILL IT

I have never seen a beetle like that-thank goodness-we have enough bugs here. :eek: The lily plants are the only ones that don't get bothered by insects in my yard. I tied them up because we got a strong storm with wind and I didn't want to lose them. They are finished for this season now, I cut them down by 2/3rds. I always remove the pods after bloom. I think weather and sun have a lot to do with the size. Can't wait to see them next year! I also am not a fan of pink.
