What the Lillies Know
Last Updated on July 8, 2023
The lilies know what we don’t. They know the secrets of the universe and the hidden language of the bees. They understand the ebb and flow of life, and they can teach us how to live in harmony with nature.
The lilies are wise beyond their years, and they have a lot to teach us if we’re willing to listen.
The lilies know what we don’t. They know the secrets of the universe and the answers to all of life’s questions. But they’re not telling us.
Instead, they just sit there, looking beautiful and serene, as if they’ve got all the answers. It’s frustrating, but maybe we should just enjoy their beauty and let them keep their secrets.

What to Do When Lilies Have Finished Flowering
When your lilies have finished flowering, it’s time to give them a little TLC. Follow these tips and your lilies will come back even stronger and more beautiful next season.
1. Cut the stem about 6 inches below the bloom.
Be sure to use sharp shears or scissors so you don’t damage the stem.
2. Remove any leaves that are yellow or brown. These leaves are no longer photosynthesizing and can actually sap energy from the rest of the plant.
3. Place the lily in a cool, dark place for about six weeks. This will help the plant re-energize and prepare for next season’s blooms.
4. After six weeks, move the lily to a sunny location and begin watering it regularly again.
Soon, you’ll see new growth emerging and your lily will be on its way to another stunning season!
What to Do With Lilies in Pots After Flowering
Lilies are a beautiful addition to any garden, and they can also be grown in pots. After the flowers have bloomed, you may be wondering what to do with the lilies in pots. Here are a few ideas:
1. Cut back the stems and leaves. This will help encourage new growth for next season.
2. Apply a balanced fertilizer to the soil around the plant.
This will help give the plant the nutrients it needs to continue growing strong.
3. Give the plant plenty of water, but make sure that the pot has good drainage so that the roots don’t rot.
4. Place the pot in a sunny spot where the lily can get at least six hours of sunlight each day.
Types of Lilies
Lilies come in many different shapes and sizes and they are one of the most popular flowers in the world. There are over 100 species of lilies and they can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Here is a look at some of the most popular types of lilies:
Asiatic Lilies – Asiatic lilies are native to Asia and they are the most widely cultivated type of lily. They have large, showy flowers that come in a wide range of colors including white, yellow, pink, orange, and red. Asiatic lilies typically bloom in early summer.
Oriental Lilies – Oriental lilies are native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. They have very fragrant flowers that come in a wide range of colors including white, yellow, pink, orange, red, and purple. Oriental lilies typically bloom in mid-summer.
Trumpet Lilies – Trumpet lilies are native to Europe and Asia. They have large trumpet-shaped flowers that come in shades of white, yellow, pink, orange, or red. Trumpet liles typically bloom in late summer or early fall.
Daylilies – Dayliles are not true lilies but they are closely related to them. They are native to Asia but they have been naturalized all over the world. Dayliles have small Flowers that only last for one day but new ones blooming each day throughout the blooming season which can last for several weeks or even months!
How Long Do Lilies Bloom
Lilies are one of the most popular flowers in the world. They come in a wide range of colors and their elegant blooms add a touch of class to any garden or bouquet. But how long do lilies bloom?
On average, lilies will bloom for around two weeks. However, there are some species that can bloom for longer or shorter periods of time. For example, Asiatic lilies typically bloom for a little over two weeks while Oriental lilies can sometimes bloom for up to six weeks!
The length of time that a lily blooms also depends on the conditions under which it is grown. Lilies grown in ideal conditions (plenty of sunlight, well-drained soil, etc.) will usually bloom for a longer period of time than those that are not. Also, if you deadhead your lilies (remove spent blooms) regularly, they may continue blooming for an extended period as well.
So, if you’re looking for a beautiful flower that will add some elegance to your garden or bouquet, consider the Lily! Just be aware that these lovely blooms won’t last forever – but they’ll certainly brighten up your life while they’re here!
