Are you playing with minimal particles?

If so, turn it on and show us a closer look at the flower.

  • Is your thermalilly bound to a mana spreader? I see one mana spreader pretty far from the lillies; I'm not even sure if its in range (6). If you right click a thermalilly with a wand of the forest, there's an icon to indicate if its bound to a spreader.
  • Are you familiar with the cooldowns on thermalillies? If they consume lava, they go into cooldown. If they find more lava during this time, they consume that and reset the timer (without creating mana). You need to "feed" them incrementally. http://ftb.gamepedia.com/Thermalily
  • Be careful about saying "everything is set up correctly." If everything was set up correctly, you'd be making mana ;)

Yes i have bound the thermalillys to the mana spreader. I know about the cooldown and thats what the timer is for.

You botched your quote/reply a bit friend :)

Thanks for clarification. You said you were terrible at Botania, so we need to rule out the obvious things first.

can your thermalilies access lava source blocks from their present location? I can't remember if they can grab lava from a diagonal position.

Yes they can. If they get lava they take it.
