Safety tips on transplanting rain lilies

Hello, I’m Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. If you want to transplant some rain lilies, Genus Zephyranthes, please, please be sure that you don’t leave any of them on the surface. Although everyone thinks that their dog is the smartest canine ever, I’ve heard of dogs, especially ones that are bored and have only a small area to roam in, chewing on leaves of plants and having severe if not fatal reactions. If you have them by a stream bed that borders your property, after these severe rain storms we’re having, you might want to check and be sure none have been exposed. My dog, Blue, aka Blueberry, is, as my co-host Terasa Lott describes a “counter surfer,” and I frequently forget and leave a dish or bowl near the edge of a table. I know he eats butterbeans, not sure about rutabagas or bulbs.
