So, Hal, your lily thinks it a lotus. ;o)

If someone has a source for a good slow release lily fertilizer,please
post it. Hal

Well I don't know if they're slow release, but try www.gardenlink.com and
click on "Spikes" they make a lily spike, big, suppose to last all year by
their claim. I know the gal fertilizing the lilies at the D.pond this year
is using them, and I guess she's happy with the blooms. (I'm not happy that
the volunteers don't dead head and squish aphids enough, but the filter is
the only concern I can deal with this year.)

What happens to your pads if you were to go thru and get rid of all those
"ugly" spread out old pads? When my lilies have started to do this, going
thru and plucking off those old pads takes care of it. But than, I get in
at least once a week and deadhead and strip off anything ugly. Ugly
(yellowing, brown spots, rips) stressed pads attracts aphids. I'm using the
Jobe's Tomato spikes and feed about every 3 weeks, 2 each. ~ jan
