Missing lilies
I have had a large group of Lollypop lilies in my garden for up to 10 years. This spring and now it looks like someone
has dug them all up, meaning there is an indent like they were dug up and only a couple small lilies coming up.
Do you think an animal or rodent of some kind could have dug them up and ate them. I do have moles in my garden
but didn’t think they would eat plants.

Yes, I suspect a racoon or badger type of animal has dug up the lilies - unless they were so adorable that a jealous neighbor came to steal them. So sorry but I think you will find that the ones that survived will be fine. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
