I think it would be very interesting to get the red colour into these henryi type lilies.
Jim, at least to the form of these and possibly a little more bowl shape with recurved petal tips, not reflexed petal tips. Now, when I look at these, I don't see much of a shade of red in the heart. In fact, the yellow/greens present that these have are in the other half of the color spectrum. The potential for red is always there to some extent in these, but not at high enough levels to be visible. So, if some more red is desired in the three you show, it would most likely have to come from a donor pollen.
Now, one thing I always do when making crosses such as we're discussing is to take a real good look at the heart and throat in daylight. I dissect them in two directions and examine them with a magnifying glass, just to see what colors I see to be present. So if we back up to the previous set of seven pictures you posted, pictures 3 and 4, I think I can see quite a few shades possible of the 43 in the red/purple group. These , then would become my choices for introducing red to the three whites. But in doing so, a dominant orange shade would also be introduced, most likely an apricot/orange. It would be the cat's meow to have pollen of a nice white with a black heart that reflects a lot of red/purple shades right about now.
