Lilies in pots

Didn't know that Liz - is it poisonous to them or does it do something to their fur or skin?

 

It's poisonous, if they lick it off their fur or otherwise swallow it, there have been deaths.

Having said that, I have kept cats and lilies for many years and had no accidents. There are some lilies which don't have the pollen bearing stamens.

 

just bought 2 lillies this morning at morrisons.
One is yellow the other red, watered them as they were a bit dry, going to get a plant pot next week will they be ok until then :rolleyes:

 

After i bought the 2 lillies, re-potted them they have been doing great, just noticed yesterday the red one has lots of large buds just turning colour and has a lot of small buds and they have all fallen off, the small ones that is the large buds are ok is this normal for lillies or could something be wrong.
The yellow ones are growing very long with no sign of ant buds, please advise. :confused:

 

Thanks MF the red one the large buds look fine and you can see the red showing.
They are going to stay in that pot i got on the balcony do i need to bring them in, in the winter or will they be ok there.do you cut them down or just leave them, not sure as it is the first time i have had lillies, my neighbour started me off as he has them growing successfully on his balcony.

 

Thanks for your advice marley farley will bare all of this in mind

 

Marley here are the two Lilies that opened the other day.
But as we were away to have heavy rain decided to cut take into a vase and have the pleasure indoors as they wood get spoiled to the weather.

Also going on holiday next week.

They are in my front garden but would like to move to back garden get full sun in back.

Did not flower last yr.

Should I move them?And can you split them?

OOh, Scotcat!
Those pics should be in the comp.
Thanks for the great advice guys Was just wondering what do with mine, they're looking a bit worse for wear(I know how they feel!) :rolleyes:

 

Lovely pics, Scotkat. What are the red berries with tu-tus on behind the pink one?

I gave up on lillies after I / t'other half got pollen on tableclothes / shirts and never could find anything to remove it!

 

Hipericum is the plant with red berries beautiful in a floral arrangement and this plant came free by a bird I think as I never planted or bought this beautiful plant.Sea Holly is also in my vase.
Thankyou for compliment Marley ,Windy and Lady of leisure.
Windy what comp and how do I enter as have other good plants.

LOL, did you know that there are pollen- free lilies available? MF mentioned them in a previous post, T&M sell them. Good for people with cats!
