I actually grew some lilium candidum from seed. It's easy but it essentially takes three years to bloom. I tried to bring them with me but they didn't make it. I think it looks great with chionodoxa sardensis. I ordered candidum fro Wayside and they sent me regale album. Which was very annoying but looked great with cynoglossum.

Here are my candidum seedlings - I put them in the window to photograph them. This is in February of 2010. And here they are in the ground (next t the Regale stems from the first picture. This is September of 2010.

I moved in January of 2011 and brought lots of stuff with me, including these in pots. Here they are in April of 2011, along with a hyacinth that was quite rare and is now out of commerce, and chionodoxa sardensis. Sadly, I lost them all. Really sad to lose double hyacinth King Codro, a wonderful dark blue that actually multiplied for me! Started with three, ended up with 15.
