  • Easter Lillies

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to ALL on Tue Apr 26 16:25:00 2022
    I was out on a walk earlier today and noticed that one of my neighbors had
    put a florist pot of some very healthy looking "Easter" lillies on the curb
    as garbage.

    I think many people don't realize that they can replant these and they
    should come back next year. Granted, they were likely forced to bloom
    early for Easter in a controlled setting, but they are just like most other bulb flowers and should come back, albeit later than Easter, for years to
    come.

    We have a threat of frost tonight, after temperatures near 90F just 3 days
    ago, so I will wait a few days before planting them myself.

    Mike

    Your are the Easter lillie rescue. That plant is sure to
    appreciate it. :D ..and hopefully reward you with plenty of
    blooms.

    I had a similar experience with a potted poinsietta that I had
    found curbside. Nothing wrong with it. Infact, it looked
    surprisingly healthy. Turns out it was a fake one! :D
