We are in the middle of a heat wave here, and these red lilies don't seem to suffer. We had netting up while they were budding to keep the deer from treating them like hors d'oeuvres. We learned our lesson a few years ago when they mowed them all down in one night,
This is a beautifully processed scene. Yes, deer are quite awful about chowing down on lily buds. We've lost ours year and year. I was thrilled this year as 5 plants survived and had beautiful yellow blooms.
