Lilies
Herbaceous flowers of the genus Lilium, noted for their large tepals and fragrant scent. They grow from bulbs. Most species are native to the temperate northern hemisphere. They comprise a genus of about 110 species in the lily family (Liliaceae). They are important as large showy flowering garden plants. Additionally, they are important culturally and in literature in much of the world. Some species are sometimes grown or harvested for the edible bulbs. The species in this genus are the true lilies. Many other plants exist with "lily" in the common English name, some of which are quite unrelated to the true lilies.

What should you do with wilted blooms on a Tiger Lily plant?
Never 'pull' off dead blooms. Always take caution and 'pinch' them off. Usually with lilies, it is not absolutely necessary to pinch off dead blooms. Due to the weight of the blooms, they will fall off on their own (unlike other plants that have smaller blooms that don't necessarily fall off, yet die away). The only downside to this is that you will be required to pick up all the fallen debris. Removing dead blooms and leaves fosters growth of small buds and blossoms. If you have the time, go ahead and carefully remove the dead blooms.
