Thank you so much. I appreciate you using a pen to point to the parts of the flower. Also, great angle on deadheading. I am a beginner to plant care and I’m a visual learner, so your video is very helpful 😊

❤ great video thank you! Just bought one that was already in this state. Looking forward to next years bloom!

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

You are very welcome, Saff. If you are in the UK or USA, you may still be able to buy some of these years' lily bulbs for summer flowering - although they may be a bit on the dry side now. Saying that, I still have one bag of tree lilie bulbs waiting to go in. I'm glad the video was of use to you. Kind regards, Simon

In the southern part of the US during the summer gets really hot between 90-100° without a doubt. Not sure if that’s the best condition to grow lilies. I do have a huge issue with snails. Will they ruin my plant? If so any tips on how to keep them away.

This was the video I was looking for! I Bought one of these flowers like 3 weeks ago it was alright until a few days ago since this is my first time owning one of these i was confused how to care for it, I cut the where ovum but it started to dry up (Turning brown) I just want to make sure if I have to cut the whole stem or just where the ovum is. Once again thank you and amazing video.

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

You are very welcome, Luna. I'm glad it was of use to you. Simon

Any advice on what to do when lillies have multiplieda lot and are starting to die off ?

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Good question 🤔

[@angelaoreilly4627]

What to do when Lilys have multpiled in the soil

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Personally, I don't do anything. I just allow them to bulk up where they are, so I get a larger display in the spring. If you are talking about lifting and dividing them, you can do so at the end of the summer.

I’ve deadhead my oriental lily’s they’re not reblooming. They are supposed to bloom all summer? Help please

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Hi there, you have done nothing wrong. Oriental lilies will flower all summer until the autumn as a group. However, one oriental lily will not repeat flower, so you would need multiple oriental lily cultivars to get blooms all summer long.Simon

[@Bokoyo]

How many years do they live?

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

That is a good question. I have had my conca d'or for about 6 years now. If they start to decline, lift the bulbs once the foliage dies back, separate and replant. Simon

[@mandyhoover3166]

Do you dead head after swelling of the ovum?

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Hi Many and thanks for your question. You don't need to wait that long. As soon as the petals fall you can dead head. Kind regards Simon

[@bertdejonge56]

what about the pesticides? Glyphosate? Parkinson Alzheimer ....

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Hi there. Sorry, I'm not sure what you are referencing. I don't think I talk about pesticides in this video.
