Perhaps they are not dangerous for squirrels to eat, I lost 13 newly emerging lilies in my garden, might not seem so many out of 150, but they were all around the seating area in the containers so it looks rather empty there now. When the lilies are broken or chewed off right at the start, it will never develop a stem, and therefore not be able to store nutrition that year for next year’s stem and flower. The bulb therefore dies. So 13 amazing lilies gone due to those squirrels, I could murder them!

I grow mine from seed, it takes 4-5 years from seed to flower, well worth having a tray of seedlings every year absolutely for free, they require no care at all apart from water and can spend all year outside in the tray until ready to be planted in year 3.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-10744464332241950492014-07-19T16:39:40.643+00:002014-07-19T16:39:40.643+00:00150 - Wow, Are they in pots or in the ground, Hele...150 - Wow, Are they in pots or in the ground, Helene?
