Pink Dream is lovely.....you must have a hundred or so different cvs this season, Anthony.
Maybe more!!!!!

What a fizzer!- not a lilium flower in sight[yet]-but please stay tuned, I have a 'bred' seedling to show..Maybe tomorrow!,.,.they will come.,. thats a promise!
We are quite happy to wait for this beauty, Anthony..
Wait no more,.,.This is a cross of ''Pink Pioneer x Perfect Pink'' from seed sent to me 18 months ago,from Illinois.,. It is /has been bred, growing in stable manure for about 18 years[to defeat bulb rot]
Anthony, its beautiful...
Now we await all the rest. My Asiatics are all full of buds but none opening yet.
Jean.
Look at all those adorable spots.....I love the spotty ones....Anthony, when you build your stocks up on the spotties let us know, I'm sure that a few of us would like to buy some...
This is the one that I bought last year, it doesn't grow very tall, but it's very colourful..
The others are all just about to flower too.

I have imported recently some of the wierdest [spotty/strikey] 1c asiatic crosses from Oregon, so the future looks inviting,.I will show more variations of that pink cross soon !-Anthony

2 more from the pink pioneer/ perfect pink seeds..
and another
L. Davidii
Lovely Anthony.....
L.Hansonii
Another lovely spotty, Anthony...
Nearly all of mine are about to flower......can't wait to see some more of your seedlings growing in my garden.
plus those double liliums even if they only flower this year....
Then there are those L.speciosum albas.......
My little L.nepalense are going around and around in the pot....they look well though...I would imagine that it will take a while before they flower...
Dianne
funny you mention .L.Nepalense, I got a limited amount of seeds from Oystein of.,.a great o/p strain of Shenandoah x Nepalense....x Lankon and x Miss Libby.,.,All have germinated,.
L Monadelphum-
Great news, Anthony....I wonder what they will produce....I will have to look up Shenandoah and Miss Libby....
We have the Lankons to look forward to as well this year...
So many lovely flowers...
Rare as 'Rocking Horse manure'- x Dalhansoni
What a stunner,
Anthony, will you rely on your local sales to sell these beauties once the numbers are up, or will you go eBay?
You will have ones that no one else has.....
I have been selling on 'Gumtree'-doing very well...and yes, thanks to the people in the 'USA' and my seed crossing....Im going to have a lot of odd liliums-I love it!!,..,That is a 'Tonkin' bulb Dalhansoni[wasnt cheap] 2 yrs ago!!
More seedling from a mixed {Hudsons Seeds} asiatic hybrid mix, I imported 4 years ago
Beautiful , Anthony.
Love the spotty ones.

wow - some stunners there.
I really like the 3rd pink pioneer/perfect pink cross.
Had a surprise today, my lilies have started to open :)
nothing like your amazing & rare collection but it was a real thrill to see them after the terrible weather the last two days.
Thats it !!-Teresa, I love your passion,.,.There is nothing like raising something like this, from a little seed,.
I noticed some smaller stems coming up this year - my lilies must like it here & are multiplying :)
CASA ROSA- a beautiful 'longiflorum /asiatic cross, which has kept an appearence of a red longiflorum..Smells like a punnet of fresh raspberries-absolutely beautiful!!!!
Good enough to eat , Anthony
Hopefully I will have some Orientals to show next year from the bargain pots I picked up yesterday.
Jean
Its a tough job at 26 * temperature, but I went around and staked my prize orienpets..shifted orientals, trumpets,. pathetic I know.. but when you show them,.., every bit of weather plays a part,,....,,.Have completed 8 seed crosses already, and some looks successful,..,...,.,.I need a bigger place!-Anthony
Casa Rosa looks lovely Anthony,
I like the sound of those fresh raspberries.
I think that I will have some opening today....
Yes, you do need another place...:-)
Dianne.
like that Casa Rosa, scent sounds nice too.
