Can anyone tell me if they know of any other lilies by breeder Woodriff. Other than Star Gazer, Black Beauty and White Henryi? I would like to plant his lilies in a corner of my yard. Thanks

Need info Woodriff
Mike, here are some I know of from reading the McRae book. There is also a NALS Yearbook from 1991 that contains a lot of his work. But here's what I found....
Pink Tiger
Oriental Charm
Ruth Woodriff
Gold Eagle
Le Reve
While I was investigating, I found an interesting article on Woodriff. Sounds like the great breeder didn't get half of what he deserved for his famed work. It's actually a bit of a sad story, in my opinion.

You can find most of these still. Quite a few people are using Black Heart White to increase size of the black heart. You often see them in the seedling section at shows. Leslie's sister lived in Fairbanks when I was there. A long time ago.
