Need help with growing my hybrid lilys?

I purchased a very nice orange hybrid lily about 2 weeks ago. I live in hawaii so everyone says its so easy to grow things with the weather here. well 2 days after i planted the flower i had one bloom...now all my flowers have fell off and i just have the little green things at the tops. any information as to if they will grow back soon or if i have killed the plant. i know nothing about these flowers and want to grow them because they are so pretty. how long do the flowers usually stay on and how long before they bloom again. I do water them every evening. Thanks so much

Lilies bloom once every year. After blooming, they will stay green till fall.



I love to buy potted lilies. But I transfer them to ground after they bloom. Trim them down all the way before frost, cover with mulch and they will come back the next spring.
Reply:You probably bought "day Lilly" they do only bloom and last one day for each bloom. Get some other lily too, ask the nursery.Iris's last for weeks and so do gladiolas and you can plant now.
