Crystal Garden: Lilies

» Carol Wallace - Lilies

Howie, I did exactly the same thing one year with poppies that you did with your lilies - except on a much larger scale. I belonged to a seed exchange that year and people from all over sent me all kinds of poppies because I had visions of a Wizard of Oz type poppy field. Only I'd never grown poppies before and didn't know what the seedlings looked like. But I sure did a lot of weeding that spring - pulled what I thought were zillions of little weeds - and then couldn't figure out why I got only two puny poppies out of that mass sowing of seeds! Oh well - that's how you get experience.
