Illinoisdoglover and snoopykittykat - emails sent, let me know if you haven't gotten them Granea - I'd be willing to trade one lily bulb for some Cherokee-Trail-of-Tears beans and some Spoon tomatoes, maybe 10-15 seeds of each. Email me at himagda@gmail.com if you would like to trade.

I'd love some of your toad lily seed. Right now, I've got these seeds if you see anything you like any of them. Otherwise I can send stamps etc. Milkweed Ice ballet Milkweed Soulmate Eastern Redbud Blackberry lily Fuzzy bean vine Chinese redbud Cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis) Great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica) Use my work email and mu home email is off and on again Kimka Kiim.Kaplan@ars.usda.gov

This is one of the best articles on starting lilies from seed. If your lily is an oriental, follow the instructions for martagons. I like to use ziplock bags with drainage holes poked in the bottom (sandwich or 1 qt. size). I use a soiless seed starting mix to reduce fungal problems. Just moisten the mix slightly before putting in the bag (or pot if you choose). Your pod won't be ready to harvest until it turns brown. Then, when you retrieve the seeds, you can screen them for fertility by holding each up to the light and if you see a "line" in the seed it should be good. Otherwise they are just chaff.
