Hello friends. Today I will write to you about a beautiful flower that is in my garden among many others.That's Ljiljan. I usually call it the gentle queen of my garden.I have them in several colors. They should be planted in April. Since the climate in my country has changed, which sometimes happens that I have three seasons in one day, I plant them in May.I mostly plant them in the garden, but sometimes I also plant them in containers.I buy healthy bulbs and loose soil. When I plant them, I water them and in a short time the lily sprouts. In the pots, I put Styrofoam on the bottom, then add soil and plant the lily. The Styrofoam serves as drainage so that the bulb doesn't rot from the water.
I would like to mention that I remove the leaves that overbloom so that the lily blooms again. If you do this regularly, you will have these wonderful flowers for a long time. Otherwise, they will bloom in a short time
When the lilies stop blooming, I prune their stems, wait until autumn and remove the bulbs from the ground, leaving them in pots in the room where I keep my planting tools.
Otherwise, they won't survive the cold winter. And in my area, winters can be really cold with a lot of snow.And now I'll tell you what my wife makes from lilies. I help too. We make a tonic, a cream and an oil from lilies. We make the tonic by putting lily petals, which have always been white lilies, in alcohol in a glass container and leaving them on the sunny side for about twenty days. We both use it to lubricate our veins because we're getting older.Here in our neighborhood I have a friend who keeps bees. I get beeswax from him, chop up lily flowers and add coconut oil. I buy vitamin capsules and some essential oil at the pharmacy. I melt it all over low heat and pour it into a container and leave it in the refrigerator. During the day we take care of our face and body. And I use the oil just like a toner by putting the petals in some quality oil.This oil and cream are so effective that I would recommend you make them. I also make them from other flowers and herbs. I currently have some from St. John's wort that is still in the sun.
That would be my story about lilies. My wife is as gentle as a lily, so especially women, try her recipes. There is a lot and I could write a lot, but that's all about other flowers and plants. However, there is a cure for every disease in nature, my father taught me that. I hope you like my post. Enjoy everyone.
