Asiatic Lily pups

 

Though this BEAUTIFUL flower  is only above-ground part of the
year, its is really gorgeous.  Many Web sites w/pictures.

Question:  Looks like at least one of my Asiatic Lilies is
growing a pup.  Anybody out there could tell me whether
it's safe to transplant the pup?

TIA

Transplant when dormant.  Make a note on your calendar in the late fall,
bulb planting season.  Maybe include a sketch or photo or some other way
you can find the spot later.

I have a bunch of bulbs earmarked for transplanting.  Some I have been
meaning to move for years, but every fall I forget all about them.  I did
manage to transplant several last fall and the results are gratifying.
I also tried to transplant some in the spring.  (No other choice;  plants
destined for the same spot were already ordered and paid for.)  Most of
them look like I killed them.  If they survive, they will take years to
recover.

Thanks!  Shoulda been obvious transplant when dormant!  Also
mark the spot(s).  I didn't do it last year, so was afraid to dig
up to plant temporary color.  This year will definitely mark.
