Wouldn't you know it, I came home that afternoon to a large, purple tip poking out from under the remainder of last years stalk! I yelled inside the house for my husband to come out saying "IT LIVES!!!! IT LIIIIIVVVEEESSS" channeling my inner Frankenstein.
Saturday morning, I was up a little late, sleeping in and enjoying no work. I ran outside and wouldn't you know it!!! ANOTHER purple point popping up from the other bulb in the pot. As I stared in admiration at the second new sprout and the crazy growth of the first, I noticed two little bitty white nubs coming up from little bulblets. By Sunday morning, I counted 4 little ones mixed around the two parent bulbs that sprouted first.... Later that evening, after looking back at the pictures from Friday, I noticed there was a bulblet sprouting Friday afternoon...but I had missed it in the excitement.
This morning, Monday, March 23, I have counted 6 little ones mixed around the two first parent bulbs... still nothing out of the third bulb in the pot... Fingers crossed that I'll see something soon!
I've taken a picture every morning since and will post them maybe...once a week, to twice a week ... I can't do the everyday thing. But, about once or twice a week I'll post several pictures of the bulbs progress.

Yes, yes, I know that one of the bulbs is slanted... I messed up when I planted them since it was only my second time to plant bulbs. I will fix them this fall... My other pot of lilies is even worse........ x.x
