Planting lilies October 2019

I went to the North Star Lily Society bulb sale today and had a good time planning where to plant lilies.  I plan to put all these in the dog run where they will be safe from rabbits eating them.

And here they are all planted in the newly created lily garden in the dog run.
I planted these a few weeks ago a couple days after I bought them, but didn't take a picture. Now it is November 7 and winter has arrived. :( I don't think the high will reach 30 degrees today.  Hopefully everything in this new bed will survive. I planted all the lily bulbs and also a peony and some ground cover plants to grow around the lilies.
