Indeed - if only this species were easier to propagate/grow. Alas, it is a tough one.

The last one is only a improvement if you consider a white base superiour to the mauve one that cosmic shows.. otherwise its pretty similiar. I think it contrasts more with the white base , but it wouldnt differ enough to do anything with other then breed with it. Its pretty subtle but its a triple colour edge with the dark purple, light purple and fine gold edge. I understand about the pinks, but a friend of mine raved about the power of leslee renee to start to take blue eyes, thats my plan , if I can get a crop based out of my heaviest pie crusting edges with it, If I get one showing that same familiar eye zone, with a heavier pie crusting, I will then go back into my blue eyed lines. Ive tried it already it hasnt done what I wanted yet, but I will continue trying. (though the seedling I got, is still wonderful from that try, it just isnt the heavy blue eye with a pink wash background Im looking for, I have no doubt people will be years ahead of me before I get one that I want, but thats ok, Im also breeding for cold zones, or colder zones I should say) Silverkelt

Thanks! Considering that they were whole bulbs when planted in the spring of 07, how long will it take for the bulblets to achieve blooming size? And will the parent bulb be more likely to bloom better once the babies are separated? These were GREAT lilies and I will be happy to have lots more of these colors. (I wonder why some planted at the same time produce bulblets and some don't...)

Leslie...Mines not done at all...When they were going through the ads and decided to go check out to see if anyone was there....That was it. Criss's husband went out first and called back...they grabbed all the warm clothes and left. He just came back for a little propane heater that Jeff had out in our shed...and I sent them a huge jug of hot choc. So....my mess will wait until tomorrow. Since I was planning on going all day tomorrow...I'll now have time to clean it up. patti
