Spritz! What a shame you had to 'dispose' of them all!
I'd never heard of spritz cookies so I had to ask google.
I think they're the same as we used to make when we were kids - just a basic biscuit (cookie) dough for forcing. We used to call them 'forcer biscuits'... because the shapes were forced out of the biscuit forcer - I mean press! I remember how much I liked changing the little pattern do-daddy things at the end. :D
I really like the 'spritz' lily flower too.
The pod wasn't open pollinated. I cap crosses afterward but I'm not fastidious about keeping the stigma clean before pollinating. I figure that little bit of room for contamination might be where the best lily will come from! But saying that I'm certain that all the seedlings had the same pollen parent. It's a white seedling that I've used a lot; downfacing but with reasonably complex ancestry including davidii and Mont Blanc. Looking at this range and others from this season from the same pollen parent has helped me form a picture of the several different 'ways' it can throw as a parent.
So, here's some more Mont Blanc descendants. Strawberries'n'Cream x Budderlord:
Sweet Surrender x Budderlord:
After your defense, Rick, of poor Sweet Surrender I relented on it as a possibly interesting parent. Look what happened!
