Lilium 2011

[partisangardener]

One third didn't make it to blooming because of the grazing from the roe deer. Does anybody know a way to prevent this.
I would like to see all the variations blooming there one day.
There were very few lilybeetle (but very big ones too, I have never seen this size before) and a little lilyfly.
Maybe the grazing cut their number down too.

COPING WITH DEER IN HOME LANDSCAPES:http://www.extension.umn.edu/yardandgarden/ygbriefs/h462deer-coping.html

for my part, here in Quebec, I have wild canada lily and the deer find them very tasty. I put coyote urine near the lily and I try to go twice a week near the colony with my dog. It work at least for now but they are still present on my land.
