Photo of Lilies a year from seed in flower.

I have several lilies which I grew from seed last year, those which are 'epigeal' or immediate germinating types, have done very well.

The first to open of those is L. pumilum 'Yellow Bunting'. It is a tiny flower with much charm, of the 5 bulbs growing this is the only one to hold buds, of which there are two. Three plants are of a similar height, one has only basal leaves, the other looks like it was going to grow a stem but stopped short.

As the others flower I will post them for the record. L. pumilum has a nice plump reddish bud which should spring tomorrow.

L. pumilum 'Yellow Bunting', seed sown on 27th March 2007.
