Invisible Lily Support for Summer Garden Wedding?

[wellie]

I'd like to pick your collective brains for a gardening client of mine, if I may?

We've planted some quality top banana Lily varieties, to hopefully flower around the time of the wedding, and wanting the best from them, do any of you Lily-growers have a top banana tip for INVISIBLY supporting the stems/blooms?

Muchly appreciated.X

Have you seen how some Restaurants wind a wire round a Gerbera stalk to hold it upright in the vase/glass? You could try that.

Thanks Glutton4,
R E S T A U R A N T.....didn't that used to be a place that one took one's girlfriend to occasionally?
I may be mistaken.......(!)

Gerberas are notoriously difficult with their lax stems, and I can appreciate a spiral wire on those for support.

I recall planting approximately 80-100 lily bulbs, if that helps at all, and my client will want the lillies to appear 'natural' rather than regimentally 'staked'.

(See Wellie want to 'get her coat' already?!)

Mmmm.....

Go back and plant them all a little deeper!?

We use Link Stakes for all our "tall" plants like that. They are fairly invisible (and powder-coated dark green too)

Mmm....Given that the Lillies are well on the way to reaching for the stars already, I think it would probably be more timely for me to thank those of you who have suggested forms of support, and for the rest of us dealing with the matter in hand to begin to panic, given that the lillies need immediate attention, not deeper planting (?!) but may I thank you anyway for your suggestions

What's a lily? I dimly remember them from years ago, but now all I have is this:
