Q.Asiatic Lily Bulbs Disappeared
I had about 40 asiatic lilies for many years. Then one spring I looked for them and they were gone – bulb and all. Now I don’t want to replant for rear of just losing the bulbs again. Ideas?

Lilies wear down over time and should be replaced by the offsets (new bulbs) they produce. I'm guessing none of those were there either. It sounds like they either rotted or an underground tunneler ate them.
If you get new ones, be sure to dig them up every few years and replant the offsets to keep the stands vigorous.
