I was very doubtful that the plantings of these seemingly-delicate 'rengarenga' lilies at a crossing by our local river would survive, and I definitely did not believe they would thrive...with the ducks, dogs, small hopping (and mega-mulch-disturbing!) birds and children on various modes of wheeled transport all passing closeby or through their newly-planted beds.
And the NZ Rock Lily or maikaika or Renga Lily as they are also known are fairly prone to frost and snail-attack, so I thought from this perspective the really small plants the council planted were just plain doomed...
...however, I am, and quite like to be in cases like this, proven wrong!
Two Springs later they have clumped up well and are blooming beautifully :)
