Who isn't happy to see that first crocus of the year? Things will start happening quickly now.

I did this last year & the Calla Lilies were not growing right, so took out & added new plant.

What do I do with the lilies I still have, throw out or are they still good?

Can't wait til it is safe to plant them!

I would put them in the ground as soon as it warms up a bit so 1) you don't forget them and 2) ...»
they can collect as much energy as possible from the green tops down into the bulb to store for their spring flowers. I remember someone planting 3,000 daffodiles for a wedding that bloomed a month too early. I spent an entire day folding over the foliage and tying into a bundle with fishing line in order to not have brown leaves showing for the wedding, without cutting the leaves to the ground. When you bundle them low to the ground they can vitrually disappear into the landscape and not be noticed without sacrificing the energy giving leaves for the sake of aesthetics.

Flowers & trees blooming
