I will give a preview to the next BIG thing in the lily world!

OK, I am an optimist to the extreme, but where would the world be without optimists?

I have plastered the stigma of L philippinense with one of the anthers from L gloriosoides. It had just opened after a rain, the anthers still laid behind the stigma unfluffed.

The pollen stuck like glue, there seemed to be so much pollen on one anther, which I had cut from gloriosoides 3 days earlier, it sprinkled everywhere. If you want to see the original colour of the stigma, it is on the thread 'Lilium formosanum and philippinense'.

I will have to start thinking of baby names, and hope there is a carriage of justice!

Hmmm 'Phiglor' 'Glorphil' 'Glopinense' ''Gloriophil' 'Phoriosoides' 'Philsoides' 'Gloriosense' 'Glorinense'

Better things to do with my time? I'm having fun!
