Lily Plant

I got a packet of lily bulbs and potted a few of them and put a few in the ground. Even though I planted about three of them in the ground at the same time their growing pace was vastly different. One of the bulbs grew faster and I could see the shoot come out of the soil in about a month. The others took about a couple of months. All three had the same amount of heat, sunlight and water. Anyway once the shoot came out, the plant grew much faster. This is how the plant looked like in about three to four weeks after the shoot first came out. I removed one of the bulbs from the container and re planted it in the ground...

This is how the plant looked when the shoot first came out.... .....
