"These bulbils (not seeds) that grow between the leaf and stem can be taken from the stem as soon as the flower has faded but it's my understanding that they shouldn't be allowed to dry out. Plant them about 1/2" to 1" deep in good potting soil as soon as you harvest them. They take 2 to 3 years to get to blooming size after planting. They will be clones of the mother plant, not crosses like you get with true seeds. If the soil under the lilies is good and not mulched too heavily, the bulbils that fall may take root and grow on their own. Just another marval of mother nature!"

It could be a star gazer lily they are my favorite! They don't have seeds, they are bulbs. They are dormant during the winter and come out every year during their season. You don't have to re-plant them, because they will multiply on their own. Best of luck! Hope that helps!

The lily in the photo is an Asiatic lily

The photos below of the Pink flowers are Stargazer Lily's which are also Asiatic Lily's.

I wouldn't pick now just let them reseed themselves and next year when they are about 6" tall replant elsewhere.

Answer 5

It's a Tiger Lily.  See the picture below. The black dots on the flower are just part of the flower. The seeds will be inside the big seed pod left behind when the flower dies. The black dots are where the name Tiger Lily comes from as they are black and the flowers are orange.

Answer 6

The lillies grow from bulbs which can be separated (fall is the best time once the flowers have wilted) and replanted in other places around your yard and the bulbs will continue to produce more each year and you can just continue this process if you want to have a yard full of lillies.  The black seedlike looking things on the flower (I think that is what you mean) may propagate your lillies (I don't know this for sure) in some other way, but it won't propagate your lillies as easily as replanting the bulbs will.

Answer 7

Stargazer lillies are a deep pink.  These are Asiatic lillies - I don't know the exact type.  They bloom in the early summer and like sun.  After they finish blooming you can dig up the bulbs and replant them.  These types of lillies reproduce rather quickly so don't be surprised if you have even more next year.

Answer 8

All lillies grow from bulbs.  I don't think those are seeds you are seeing on your plants. Maybe some kind of bug?
