Towards the end when Nina kills Lily she really just stabbed herself with the glass, which was basically her final release and allowed her to fully “become” the black swan. Does Lily die at the end of black swan?
After playing Odette, Nina begins to lose her grip on reality when she goes backstage and finds Lily prepping to go on stage as Odile.

Did Nina die in the White Swan?
Yes and No – it doesn’t say whether she died which is what makes it perfect. It simply says – Realize you desires in life much much before you lay on your death bed. In other words, convert to a black swan. From one perspective, Nina didn’t die but converted from White Swan to Black Swan ( fading white light ).
Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan ends with Nina (Natalie Portman) dying after performing the final number of Swan Lake. But did it actually happen? Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan is a haunting and tragic tale of Nina (Natalie Portman) descending into madness, but does she actually die after her final dance performance?
While we were writing we ran into the query “What is the true black swan of this film?”.
The true Black Swan of this film is Nina’s mental illness. Be it schizophrenia, or multiple personality disorder, or whatever else you want to call it, this is the only problem in her life. This is the thing that takes away everything, even her own self.
What do you do with lily bulbs when they die?
When the foliage dies, I will remove it from the garden and make sure my lilies have a good covering of mulch before winter. A couple months before they bloom, I add some fertilizer to the area. If you are in an area when you can’t leave the bulbs, wait until the foliage dies back and them dig the bulbs.
After the lily blooms, you can also remove just the stem itself. However, do NOT remove leaves until they have died down and turned brown in fall. It’s very important not to cut back the leaves until the end of their season because hey help provide nourishment to the bulb for next season’s blooms.
Do you Deadhead lilies?
Deadheading is the term given to removing the spent flowers from a plant. With some plants, deadheading actually encourages new flowers to bloom. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case for lilies. Once a stem has finished blooming, that’s it. Cutting off the spent flowers isn’t going to make way for any new buds.
Yet another question we ran across in our research was “Why do lilies come back every year?”.
It also weakens the stem of the lily plant which can ultimately cause complete damage to the plant. Lilies are perennials, and they come back every year if you take care of the plant under the right conditions. Take care of soil condition, sunlight, fertilizers, and the bulb of the plant will reappear in the next year with rooty stems.
