Oriental x Asiatic hybrid, is it possible?

West Babylon, NY(Zone 7a)

I want to cross Landini (the near black Asiatic hybrid) with Stargazer ( the pink Oriental hybrid). I've got pollen frozen from Landini to pollinate Stargazer, should the cross take?

Please refer to The Lily Nook (Canada) website. Div III Interdivisional Hybrids. Yes they carry them so I guess it's possible. I didn't answer your question directly because I am not that versed in genetics. Hope I helped a little bit.

Wouldn't that make it a Longiflorum Asiatic?

They do exist. I don't see why you couldn't do it!

Red Alert is an LA. Bob Gibson of B&D Lilies said that this lily is so vigorous he can barely control it - it multiplies like mad. So I think that there is great hope for your cross.

Wait a minute - an LA is a Longiflorum Asiatic.

I think you are contemplating an Asiatic Oriental. Oriental Asiatic?


It's been done! An Oriental x Asiatic!

So you absolutely can do it!

There's also a term called "embryo rescue" used for certain lily hybrids meaning letting seed grow in pod won't always work, so well see!
