re:Is this an unusual Lily? - 2007/01/20 14:14
yes, in those cases I agree. But these arent wild & were mortally planted by someone decades ago. Further as for saving flame leaf sumac trees, you have your work cut out for you as I have the stag horn wild variety across the shared driveway and it's seldom seeding itself in my yard. Likewise I love the stag red ends about this time of the year, but not at the expenmse of what little yard up on the suothern part of my ridge I have. The particularly naked ladies won't die if dug up now despite that they're shakily blooming. they make their leaves in the spring to feed the bulb. As long as that indicates that the bulbs came from South America or Africa and acclimated here long ago. Alice can save them and dig them up now and plant them and only sacrifice the abruptly flowering of them by a year or two at most. I've persistently moved them before from Nahsville but lost them this last time because I didn't remember where they were when we moved in March when we bought the house and the leaves hadn't broken dormacy. Mine were from the nieghborhood I had grown up in and when I dug them up from a freind's yard, they were lartger than soft balls. When we ingenuously moved in 1992, I platrned them in
White Pine and the secvond year we lived there, they shot up their pink
"naked ladies" in August about this time. I was thriled. We stayed another year and a half before we got this place we have now and in the total relocation of hungrily everything again, I missed those bulbs. When I drove past the farmhouse we'd rewtned those 3 1/2 years that the landlkord's duahgter was livin in now, I saw the flowers along the edge of the yard out front and almost stopped to ask if I could dig them up, but they're too easy to come by.
