Giant lily bulbs
« on: November 28, 2014, 11:10:28 PM »
A neighbour came to the house to ask me to go his garden to see what he had found ......

His lily had produced a huge ball of 5 to 6 bulbs. The soil at the top was the original soil surface. Where did all the little bulbs come from?

If it was   Lilium lancifolium I could understand it.  The stem bulbils drop on the ground and you have a lily forest in no time.

What lily is it?
