mmhm, Rick, the reverse is pretty nice!
Aah - thanks Connie! That's what I was thinking of. Only I took it to mean that the leitchlinii of commerce is a selection of 'Citronella', which I thought in turn had amabile var. luteum in it's background. That's the reason I was thinking of the leitchlinii I have as an imposter - I didn't think it was the real species. I have a selection of the wild leicthlinii now, known as Iwashimizu, and it's a very different lily from the commercial one.
The commercial leitchlinii is really dominant in all the other crosses I've used it in - getting exasperated here with all the new look-alikes I've produced.
I'll have to wait a couple of years to see how different the grandkids might be!
Anyway, I was hoping those "interesting genes" of cernuum var. album might shake staid old leichtlinii up a bit, I just didn't know what to expect! Here's the second seedling:
Surprise!
It's scented too, but only faintly and while it's not unpleasant, I wouldn't call it delightful!
