Talk:Lilium

message: What is the rationale behind describing lilies as 'rhizomous' rather than as bulbs? Most of them are true bulbs. Some produce additional rhizomes. Without an explanation either here, or in the articles on rhizomes and bulbs, this makes little sense. Imc 21:48, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Rather than redirect to Lilium, "lily" should probably have a disambiguation page to sort out the various "lily" names like daylily, water lily, trout lily, calla lily (ugh), canna lily (double ugh), etc. MrDarwin 15:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

message: An editor added a species of lily a few days ago named Lilium karplus (Tracy and Steven's Lily).  I have not been able to locate any information on this plant through a variety of seaches.  While it is possible that this is a sufficiently rare plant that there is no mention of it anywhere (it is in a very diverse genus), but I am removing it to here for further discussion or clarification.  --TeaDrinker 16:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone with some knowledge of etiquette help out all us dullards!   I have no idea if there is a use for lilies in the context of cheering someone up, or apologizing to an ex, or so on and so forth.  Enlighten me!  214.13.173.15 (talk) 21:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

message: You may think i'm asking for something inapropiate, but ... is it worth a section about the symbolism of lilies (for example, its very believed relationship with virgin Mary, with purity and innocence and ... well, other stuff I possibly don't remember today)?--200.71.161.1 (talk) 03:41, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Are all lily species perennial, or does it vary? -- Beland (talk) 18:33, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, yes, they are all perennial. That goes together with them being bulbous, as a bulb is a perennating organ. I think the word 'normally' is there in the first line because some lilies such as L. longiflorum can be grown straight from seed to flower without ever resting. But this does not stop them producing bulbs. Imc (talk) 22:12, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Recently, I have seen this brown goo with these brown grubs in it on my lilies. They totally wreck the leaves and they destroyed a couple of unopened lily buds. What are these garden pests? 66.30.100.140 (talk) 17:04, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably lily beetle, Lilioceris. Quite a problem if you get them. Imc (talk) 19:24, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The grubs are actually less of a problem to deal with than the adults, if you have time and keep at it. Spray with a hosepipe or similar upwards under the leaves. This will wash them off and they have little ability to move so won't get back. The adults (bright red) are another matter... Peter coxhead (talk) 08:10, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brown grubs on my lilies

message: Although I appreciate it's usefulness I'm tempted to tag this article with  as it's more suited to a separate List of lilly species or something of the sort. Compare the Rose article. -- œ™ 08:19, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. See some previous discussion at . Imc (talk) 22:18, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I very much like the image gallery for the species and think other genera should have one too. But it breaks up the text too much, and makes the article very difficult to read.  Hardyplants (talk) 03:04, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image gallery? 

message: Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that :File:Lillium Stamens.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on June 12, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-06-12. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng  {chat} 18:04, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I have some slight doubts about the image used to illustrate lilium auratum, it looks like lilium auratum, variety platyphyllum because it lacks the characteristc spots on the tepals that lilium auratum should have. I propose to change it in due course if there are no objections. Richard Avery (talk) 14:08, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Identity of Lilium auratum. 

message: I've removed the entire section on cultivation, as being 'how to do it' material. I also removed the three cultivars listed as having the AGM as numerous cultivars have received this award over the years, as can be seen in (for instance) in the RHS Plant Finder lists. Imc (talk) 10:49, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't disagree with this action, given how the section was written, but there is a need for an appropriate cultivation section (descriptive not prescriptive, fully referenced) in view of the importance of lilies in horticulture. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:07, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cultivation and Award of Garden Merit 

message: The listing of Lilium species by section relies heavily on the synthesis of material from different sources, some of very different dates (e.g. the division into sections from 1949 and the content of some sections from 2002–2007. I feel that this violates WP:SYNTH and should be replaced by a straightforward alphabetic listing of species based on a reliable secondary source, such as WCSP.

message: I think the section “Classification of garden forms”, though admirably detailed, contains too many images without captions. One named image per section is plenty. People can always view images on Wikimedia. Darorcilmir (talk) 12:10, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

message: This blind peer reviewed research paper,  freely available on DOAJ, affirms thaht "the interaction effect between citric acid and malic acid on vase life and chlorophyll content proved significant", expecially in the treatment with 0.15% citric acid and without malic acid compared to control treatment.
