    occasionally second year lilies merge their stems into a single and produce a martian lily- happened once to me-if i remember correctly flowering was very poor-its a natural unnatural thing

  • thanks for the picture, nut, I'm now really looking forward to seeing it in bloom, I'll post the pictures on the forum for every one to enjoy

    please do. could be impressive. Have you got it staked? there'll be a lot of weight thereimage



    In the sticks near Peterborough
  • I don't think the flowering will be poor with all the buds its producing,

  • no stake yet, I'll do that tomorrow, now I know what's going on

    thank you

    Fingers crossed! image

    nut's right about staking - a wild bit of weather at the wrong moment would see it off. A couple of carefully placed canes will do the job.
