The lillies were planted from 3 pots in May, 2005 and multiplied this year to a large quantity that bloomed beautifully in April. In mid-July they continued to develop large seed pods but have not bloomed again. What can I do to get them to bloom?

If you do not allow the flower to produce a seed head the re-blooming type mainly "stella de ora" will continue to re bloom. dead heading may help

What type of Lily's were they? Some Lily's bloom at different times and then stop. Day Lily's should bloom most of the summer if they have enough water and food. My Asiatic Lily's have stopped blooming now, and I believe they are done until next late May through early July. In general to get any plant, not just Lily's to bloom, keep the plant dead headed. Pick off the spent blossoms before they can make seeds, that way they will keep making blossoms hoping for seeds.

If you're not interested in reproducing the lilies from seed, you can deadhead them as their blooms start to fade to extend their bloom time. They still have a decided season for bloom, however, and most of the Asiatics are done in mid to late summer. There are some re-blooming varieties Hemerocallis (day lily), which will bloom most of the summer if they're properly maintained and I think there are some Asiatics that behave this way, too.

It's time for lillies to stop blooming. You might consider removing the bulb and placing it in the refrigerator for next spring planting. YOu will want to plant the bulbs around February. If you really want to push them into growing more, you could get some really good soil or plant foot like Miracle Gro. Also, it has been really hot this year and that discourages almost anything from blooming. Good luck.

Most lilies will only bloom once.
The seed pods are a sign that your lilies are done for the year. If you're not interested in saving the seeds, trim back the stalks with the seed pods. This will encourage the plant to use all it's energy to grow a bigger, healthier plant for next year...rathar than producing more seeds.

Lillies only bloom once a year then get the seed pods. The seed pods are not blooms

Lil lies bloom once a year , Large seed pods never bloom as answers above mentioned.
But if you like to enjoy having beautiful Lil lies blooming all summer then select plants from deffer ages, keep the young ones in their pots as much as you can to slow their growth.
Plant Lil lies from pot to the ground soil, not all pots at once just keep days or weeks between them, so blooming will grow at different times to keep Lil lies in your garden more longer.. I am at north America Zone 5 I have my Lil lies blooming since late June to August. hope that you enjoy more of Lil lies colors.

Lillies only bloom once. Usually the first two weeks in July.

The arrival of the seed pods means that that flowering is finished.
