Hey @Meyer Jordan - we're talking lilies here... not lotuses.

Lilies......DUH!

Lotus......JA!

One minute she says she found a lily store and then she says she bought a lotus.

Ha! You're RIGHT! @Meyer Jordan - my apologies! @tbendl is the confusing one on this thread! haha!

No problem. Sometimes it is difficult remembering exactly what thread you are commenting on. I get confused all of the time.

Purple fantasy Tbendl, slow grower, not a heavy bloomer. But pretty when it does.

Ok so I went a little ADHD there apparently. I started wanting pictures of Lilies and then, while I was shopping for lilies I somehow ended up buying a lotus.
So to sum it up it was
Lily lily lily SQUIRREL lily lily lily LOTUS.
Annnnndd there is my life in nutshell....

Never had much luck with the shallow containers. Lotus have extensive root systems. Require re-potting more frequently.

Thanks Meyer, that looks pretty sturdy. I shouldn't think I'd have to re-pot that very soon with that thing.

And thank you! Is that the one you sent me a little bit of? I was so sad that it hasn't come back this spring.

I've got it on my list. Does anyone have a blue lily? I'm thinking of getting 3 for Mothers day. A blue, a purple, and a night bloomer.

Also, Addy since all of my lilies came from you, do you know if they are hardy or tropical? Any idea how to tell?

 

[mrsclem]

I have a blue , purple and fuschia. All hardy but have not grown enough to divide yet!

Oh I bet that is pretty when they are all blooming!

 

[tbendl]

Mrsclem, do you have any pictures? I would love to see a blue!

All hardies, I don't do tropicals

Yeah I did some research and figured that out. Lol I don't know what I was thinking given your winters and the fact that I know you don't pull them.
