Amaryllis buds bloom sooner than Easter lilies

My first set of amaryllis and Easter lily buds appeared at the same time but the Amaryllis is in full bloom while the Easter lilies will still take a week, I think. It is good actually, as my garden will be full with something or the other. I prefer giving potassium rich fertilizer to my lilies. What kind of fertilizer do you prefer for them?

I use a fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, it's good for most of the flowers.

Yaa.. but I think nitrogen in low quantity is preferable for flowers

@Sheali There is very little nitrogen and more potassium and phosphorus. For the grass more nitrogen is needed.

I have compost pits that get ready each year. I use only that. Lilies are blooming here as well but so far no signs of the amaryllis yet. . The one in the piciture which is a double lily has yet to bloom this year.

@Sheali We get papaya saplings from our compost. We have about 6 compost pits in our garden. Somehow tomatoes do not show up here.

@allknowing Ok.. We also had a papaya sapling and it grew into a healthy tree.. It was a good variety also Unfortunately our immediate neighbor was getting some construction work done and all the bricks fell in our property and damaged the tree completely

I also make compost in some containers in our roof and use it in my flower pots for repotting.. I got a tomato plant from that compost pile and now it is loaded with small tomatoes as it is not the season.. That is such a lovely pic
