I'm not sure what the green part of my asiatic daylilies are underneath where I removed the spent flowers?? Is it a seed pod or will it bloom again?? Just don't know whether or not to remove that green part/seed pod or whatever that thing is? I'm not a knowledgeable gardener...no green thumb here :) Thanks, Lesa
Find the female parts of the flower. The pistil is the term for this part. It includes the stigma, style, ovary and egg cells. The pistil is the large center part of the flower. At the top of the pistil is the stigma. The stigma is rounded and is sticky to the touch. It is sticky so that it can catch pollen. It is attached to the ovary with a stem-like portion called the style. The ovary is the big round portion at the bottom of the pistil.

Can I keep my potted asiatic lilies in th container over the winter in my house?
It is not recommended to bring them into a warm house during the winter, as they need a cool dark period to regenerate. You can store the bulbs in the pot, in a cool garage, or cold frame after they start going dormant.

It has gone through a near freeze, do I need to water it before true winter sets in. It is surrounded by several inches of mulch.
You can cut down on the watering quite a bit throughout the winter. You will still need to water them, just not as much. Here is an article on their care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/lily/planting-asiatic-lilies.htm
I have 15 pale pink Asiatic lilies planted in a group. They only bloom for a short period of time. I don't cut the lily stems down until they turn brown in the Fall. Can you tell me what I could plant in among the green lily stems/leaves. I don't mind the stems; they look interesting without the flower but would like more color. Also could the lily stem be cut down while it is still green?
All lilies have a brief but gorgeous bloom time. One strategy is to interplant Asiatic and Oriental lilies. Oriental lilies grow much taller than Asiatic and they bloom in late summer. Another idea is to plant something in front of your lilies like sunflowers that take a while to reach their expected height. While they are smaller, the lilies bloom above them. Cosmos is another annual that you can start outdoors after your frost-free date. They germinate in 7-10 days and like full sun. Sow the seeds around the lilies to hide the yellowing foliage. Do not cut down the lily foliage until it has completely yellowed; the leaves are necessary to rebuild the lily bulb so it can survive winter and bloom next year. I find the foliage attractive as long as flowers are dead-headed but that's me. Choose the annual of your choice that will grow tall enough to hide the lilies.
Do I need to remove the lilies after they have bloomed?
When lily petals deterioratel, it is a good idea to dead-head the remains of the blossom. This is true of all bulbs. Your hope is that the plant will focus its energies on re-building the bulb for next year's blooms instead of on making seeds. Your lilies may be able to do both or you may end up with fewer blooms next year if you don't dead-head.
I had Asiatic Lilies in a pot. I forgot to take the bulbs out last Fall. I emptied a pot today and there were 5 bulbs, very much alive. When do I replant them?
Now is a good time to plant lilies. They won't emerge until the soil starts to warm so impending frost isn't a problem. The following article discusses planting and ongoing care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/lily/planting-asiatic-lilies.htm
Appeared in a patio pot in my garden. I don't remember planting it.
It looks like a very lovely Asiatic Lily growing in your garden!
