WeeNel, thank you for the compliment, although I doubt the wife would agree with you that I'm a clever girl ;-)

Easter-lily, green thumb? Don't know about that. It's usually the dirty brown fingernails that are most noticable.

gardenerme, here's an up close photo of one of the blooms that opened day before yesterday. As you can see the throat is actually a lite mint green. I don't recall that I ever saw any with yellowish throats. But I'll keep an eye on them. And, yes, they do propagate very well from seeds. But I've never tried to collect the seeds. The main bulb creates multiple bulblets each year. I plan to allow these 3 to grow undisturbed for the rest of the year. And next spring, I wouldn't be surprised to see half a dozen "main stems" coming out of the ground from each one.
