Great to hear, Lefty! Must go give mine a look, excitement rebuilds! Thanks for the progress report :) Also, I've been meaning to tell you those Tiger Babies were GORGEOUS!

My friend who has L.canadense growing wild in his yard told me they have increased well, so I'll have plenty more fresh seed this fall to share. And I was thrilled to find out the one mature plant in my old garden (that will be moved this fall) has 10 blooms on it!

Pard, I'd be happy to send you some if you want to give 'em another try. Hopefully you've got the hard part mastered.

Janet, same here last I checked; plump, healthy looking seed still there. My Bellingham babies have babies! Little bulblets on the ends of the stems. I love lilies that are vigorous like that! I think I may even see a bloom or two next year.

I purchased this as 'Bright Star', but there is some conflicting info out there about it being the same as 'White Henryii' and 'Lady Alice'. Whatever it is, I love the whiskers it inherited from L.henryii.
