Feeding Lilies

I am curious to know Kenneth's recommendations for L. humboldtii, as I have
a good batch of seedlings that have been coming slowly along for several
years; one will flower this year from a 2004 sowing. (I have not attempted
to 'push' this one!) I see that McRae says that it is (of the West Coast
dryland spp) 'probably the least fastidious and easiest to manage' but notes
that it wants to be very dry through late summer and autumn. Any comments on
this?
John,
I think you must have a typo there, or else that is a VERY quick flowering
after sowing (sown in 2004)! <grin> I would be interested to know how long
it has taken from seed, which is why I am drawing attention to it (no, I
wasn't just trying to hassle you!)
Cheers.
