Leaving them on the plant gives it more energy for larger blooms. Your choice what you want.

If you got deer, probably get those beautiful blooms safe.

Mine are coming out of dormancy with vengeance, excited to see mine bloom in a few weeks

We do have deer and each morning our lily’s and roses are still there is a blessing. You’ve convinced me to cut them 😁

These were in an “assorted” bag of lily bulbs we bought last year. I’ve never seen lily’s like this and I’m absolutely astounded 🤩

Well darn, looking back through my photos mine won’t bloom till around July.

That colour is stunning. I’ve got some deep purple, some white and purple, and red yellows myself. Mixture of oriental and asiatic too, so they bloom at slightly different times I believe?
