Plants in bloom need a lot of water and prefer a well-lit location out of direct sunlight. Remove the yellow anthers to prevent staining of white petals. To reflower the next season, continue to water it until foliage matures, then plant outside in late spring.

Lilies can be very toxic to cats, so please keep away from your kittys.  They are not however toxic to other animals or people.&lt;img src="http://bloomsflowershop.net/blog/aggbug.aspx?PostID=44" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>75 Years!</title><link>http://bloomsflowershop.net/blog/blogs/blooms_flower_shop_albion_new_york/archive/2010/03/24/43.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Mar 2010 20:10:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">c8fb1f9f-730f-4d1a-ab36-b963321e1d1e:43</guid><dc:creator>BloomsFlowerShop</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>This year marks 75 Years for Bloom's Flower Shop in Albion, NY.
