Plant Expert Reply:
If the black things are actually on the leaves axils, they are called bulblets. When bulblets mature and fall to the ground they can sprout into new plants. It usually takes 3 years before these bulblets will become mature flowering plants. However the seeds that form in pods after the blooms dissapear can become mature blooming plants the next year.
If you want to harvest and plant the bublets, collected as they start to fall to the ground. THe best time to harvest is after a few drop to the ground.
Hi thee, I have just collected a bunch of them What do you do after that? Do you plant them right away or wait till next year and if so how do you store? Thank you.
Twila,
You can store them or plant them like you would other bulbs. This article has more information: https://www.flowershopnetwork.com/blog/lily-seeds-look/
