    Make sure the soil is evenly moist and that the plant is receiving full sun; 6 plus hours.

    Some of the lilies are daylilies. We won't be moving until December. We can pull some up in late fall, but I don't know the procedure, or if it's even possible to keep the bulbs somehow for planting in the spring.

    Timing is everything. By lilies, I assume you don't mean daylily. When do you plan to move? If it is late fall, no problem. If it is mid summer, the lily bulbs will still be regenerating following bloom. You may have to pot up the entire plant to ensure success. I'd also lift some bulbs and hope that some will come back. They may not bloom next year. Daffodil bulbs are easy to move. Keep them in a cool area, even in the refrig and plant in late fall.

    It could be a number of pests including caterpillars.

    Neem Oil is a good treatment for most pests.

    There are many different varieties of Lily plants, and yes, flowers can face different directions and change as the blossoms mature.

    Performance is your best indicator of vigor. If it looks and acts old and tired with fewer leaves and blooms it may be time to dig it up. Most often, it just doesn't come up one spring. Your lily may be suffering from a soil disease that rots the bulb or it may just be in need of division. So dig it up when it has mostly died down and examine the bulb and soil. Leaf spot and rotting of the bulb indicate disease and the plant should be removed with all the soil that is nearby. Don't plant replacement lilies in that area of your garden. Regular division will keep plants young and give you an opportunity to add compost or manure to the soil.
