1) I have a CA native lily that isn't blooming. I think it may be getting crowded in its pot there is foliage, a bunch 12'' stems but no big flower spike. I wonder if I over watered it this year because it was under the drip in its plastic one gal. a little while in the summer. Do they stop blooming if crowded?

2) I was given a large pot of white easter lilies that my mother in law was given for easter. Its blooms several times a year in its 5 gal pot. I've read that these are unreliable garden plants but this one seems to be quite nice except for the fact that it really has issues with aphids. I am battling them constantly. I grow these lilies is the shade. they are trumpet shaped. I hesitate to plants them amongst the other plants if they are going to breed aphids, but they would look best with some companion plants.
