It's a shame lillies are poisonous to cats because I'd love to grow them and the cats would keep the rabbits at bay.<br /><br />I especially like that first photo of the lillies in the vase against the soft colours of the house wall.Callyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276876280803790049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-83235630592810328592011-07-19T21:43:24.427-05:002011-07-19T21:43:24.427-05:00@Sue: Rabbit damage is disheartening and frustrati...@Sue: Rabbit damage is disheartening and frustrating, isn't it.

I put chicken wire around my Asiatic lilies from the time they start to bud until the flowers are gone. It's ugly, but it keeps the rabbits out! :-)<br /><br />AmyAmy Andrychowiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04834295402269490621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-9417905354920095902011-07-18T22:11:27.071-05:002011-07-18T22:11:27.071-05:00I came here via Facebook, nice blog, great photos!...I came here via Facebook, nice blog, great photos!Iowa Gardening Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457574109288160557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-72425722536740385982011-07-18T21:11:09.817-05:002011-07-18T21:11:09.817-05:00Yes, it is a good year for the liatris and such, a...Yes, it is a good year for the liatris and such, and the lilies are in their prime. <br /><br />I have problems with rabbits, too. They seem to have certain favorites, and will eat them down to stubs. I noticed one of my lilies that is behind some bushier plants was lying down and had no blooms. I figured the rabbits had eaten them.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-77630515363507201232011-07-18T08:57:47.347-05:002011-07-18T08:57:47.347-05:00Thanks for sharing your Lilipalooza!

Plus, I beat the rabbits to the harvest!<br /><br />@Donna: Yep, just when I think I've found ways to make peace with the rabbits, they destroy another plant. Argh.<br /><br />@Bumble: I have squirrel and chipmunk problems, too. But they seem to do more digging around plants which I can usually patch up or stop with certain techniques.
