Loving Lilly (The Devoted Men)

Product Information

At home in both formal and naturalistic settings, most lilies also take readily to containers. Plus, they make excellent cutflowers! For visual appeal, plant lilies in groups of three to five if space allows; crowding leads to poor circulation and gray moldin If you are growing lilies strictly for cut flowers, consider planting them in a designated cutting garden, where you can plant fresh bulbs eachyear. Most popular varieties prefer acidic to neutral soil, but some are lime-tolerant or prefer alkaline soils (e.g., Madonnalilies). When to PlantLilies With colorful, star-shaped flowers, lilies add elegance and fragrance to any garden. By carefully blending the lily’s early, mid-season, and late varieties into your garden, you will enjoy their magnificent blooms from spring through the first frost.

A good lily arrangement will last two or more weeks. Change the water every few days. Learn how to keep cut flowers fresh.

Development log

all this to say that this book was so adorable and it’s the kind of book that would immediately get you of a reading slump. the writing is amazing and so are all of the characters. can’t wait for the next books (hopefully we’ll get a amy one 🤭) As soon as you get lilies inside, trim the stem ends an inch or so, making a diagonal cut with a sharpknife. Oriental lilies ( Lilium sp. - “Oriental hybrids”) have that famously intoxicating fragrance. They are tall and stately (4 feet), and tend to grow more slowly. Oriental hybrids bloom in mid- to late summer, just when Asiatic lilies are beginning to fade. Orientals are always a striking choice, producing masses of huge white, pink, red, or bi-color blooms. They make wonderful cut flowers that will fill even the largest of rooms with their spicyscents.

Originally, it was thought that lilies only grew in forests, grasslands, marshes and mountains. However, these flowers can now be grown from a bulb and will likely thrive almost anywhere, making them and their symbolism universal. ollie is just the most amazing book boyfriend ever (ugh, i’m swooning). HE’S PERFECT AND SO SUPPORTIVE AND PROTECTIVE 😩 Space bulbs at a distance equal to three times the bulb’s diameter (usually about 8 to 18 inches apart, depending on thevariety). I also like that there were two points of view so I could understand both of their perspectives. I found Lilly to be very approachable. She really charmed me with her wild spirit and resolve to make the best of things. Oliver was too cute for words. It was so sweet to see his logical reasoning and their obvious chemistry and love. Keep lilies mulched so that their roots are cool. The mulch should feel moist, but not wet. Read more about mulching.

Why book with us?

Easter lilies (Lilium longifolium) are most commonly grown indoors as a holiday plant. As their name suggests, they are typically forced into bloom around Easter, in March or April. Outdoors, they are better suited for warmer regions of North America, where they can be planted in the garden after blooming has finished. These are generally hardy to Zone 5 (and to Zone 4 if given 1 to 2 feet of mulch in autumn for winterprotection). Trumpet lilies ( Lilium sp. - “Trumpet hybrids”) are similar to oriental lilies, producing many blooms with a nice scent. Their flowers tend to be smaller and more closed (like a trumpet) than those of the otherlilies. When cutting lilies, choose those with buds that are just about to open, with a bit of the flower color showing. The higher-up buds will open as the bottom onesfade. Oliver aka the perfect man! He’s so kind and CUTE (let’s count how many times i use this word in this review) He’s quite literally Lilly’s hero and savior! Always there when she needs help and he’s more than happy to do so! He’s the kind of guy every girl dreams about and i can’t blame Lilly for loving him!
