Lily growth and happenings

Well there are a number of things going on. I pulled the 2 bulbs which I got from China out of the soil to find there was a lot of bacterial decay. Maybe lost but there was a good green base on one bulb so I am hoping it can survive.
The Mirek #4 has produced 15 little bulbs which are doing very well. I was able to share 5 bulbs with the person who gave me the seeds.
There was a bag of leftover bulbs in the basement and they had grown so many roots so I transplanted them into 6" azalea pots (photo 2) and noticed today that they are doing quite well. I will try to get a picture soon. Several of the plants which bloomed earlier in winter had died off so I pulled them all out and re-potted them. There were several with little bulblets on the stems.
Those plants which did not bloom are still growing under the lights and doing ok although it is obviously not the best situation. Definitely looking forward to spring.
