Hi all,
It has been a busy summer. This is the first time I have been able to get to the threads since mid July :*(.
Anyway, the point of this thread was to list what I think is the best way to grow lilies from seed, bulbils maybe even cuttings and get suggestions :*) Maybe we could get a sticky on the subject?
Sorry if this is a rehash...
I did some pollinating this year and some seed appeared. Ok question number one...
1. What is the best way to weed out bad seed when the pods have hundreds? (Plant them all and see what happens?)
2. Asiatic seeds : Seems to be two methods, plant in moist moss in a bag and refrigerate or plant at room temperature and let grow?
3. Oriental seeds: chill for 3 months?, and then warm for 3 months? not sure here either...
4. Scales and bulbils: moist moss in plastic bag and refrigerate or at room temp?
Good day

Mainiac thanks for the links. My pollinating went so so, so far :*) Some of the pods have lots of viable seed while others only have maybe 12. One of the seeds was actually germinating in the pod!
I also have lots of bulbils of of my unknown yellow. For bulblets I can just dig them up and replant?
