Southern WisconsinQ.Asiatic lily
I opened a bud that didn't bloom on my Asiatic lily plant and it has seeds inside (or what looks like seeds). Will these grow into the buds that didn't bloom? Will these grow into anything?

October 13, 2015A.You can plant the seeds but Asiatic seeds do not stay viable very long, so I would plant right away.
Sow them on a tray of potting mix and cover with 1/4 inch of soil, mist and keep warm and moist.
When they sprout move to a sunlit area.If the flower had not opened, the seeds could be sterile due to lack of pollination.
Also if the plant is a hybrid, the new plants may not resemble the parent plant.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/lily/planting-asiatic-lilies.htm

Sintaluta Saskatchewan zone 3Q.Asiatic lilies
My Asiatic lilies grew little bulbs right on top of the stalk where flowers should have been. These bulbs had leaves growing already and there was at least 25 on top of each plant. These lilies never bloomed this year. I have seen this on tiger lilies but along the stem not on top and not growing leaves. Why did this happen? I planted them and they are growing.

March 3, 2016A.If the plant was not dead headed when the flowers faded, the plant then turned it's energy into making seed pods.
I would remove the seed pods from the plant. You may or may not get blooms this season.

How to properly remove spent flowers?

April 30, 2016A.Spent flowers can easily be pinched off of the plant. You can also use a small garden snip to cut the wilted flowers from the plant.

Will this produce anymore flowers this season? This is my first year growing lilies and it looks like that was the only flower I will get since there are no more stems growing, but I am not sure.

May 20, 2016A.No, it looks like there are no more buds on your plant.
Here are some articles that will help you.

Baltimore, MD , zone 7Q.Asiatic lilies
I planted Asian lilies in large pots many years ago. They come up beautifully every year, except this year. See the photos below. The buds are twisted and the color is off. The buds should be a uniform light red before they open and dark red after they open. These buds have a yellowish cast and they are bent over. The petals are twisted when the flower opens. One of two of the stems are twisted as well but most of the stems are straight. I have 3 large pots and they are all coming up the same way. I separated some of the bulbs last year and planted them in separate pot with new soil, and some of those buds are also twisted but not as many as in the large, older pot. Any idea what is going on? Thanks Nadine Johansen

May 31, 2016A.We did not receive the images.
From your description it very much sounds like your Lily bulbs are infected with a virus.
Distorted, twisted growth and color breaking are two indicators of a virus.These viruses are generally transmitted by Aphids.
Aphids should be controlled with an insecticide treatment, Neem Oil is a good organic choice.
It is best to destroy infected bulbs to prevent the spread of the disease.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/lily/planting-lilies-in-containers.htm

- Answered by

July 4, 2016A.I would leave the remaining stems to help give the bulb energy for next season.
Let them die down naturally.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/lily/planting-asiatic-lilies.htm
