I've had some quick responses from some the very best people in the Yahoo group, and they all think those funny seeds are good.
Sometimes wishes can come true!
So for the seeds I am offering any of you, here are the parents/grandparents:
Lilium davidii var. willmottiae, Lilium 'Olina' and Lilium 'Tinos'
(Lilium davidii var. willmottiae x Lilium 'Olina') and (Lilium 'Tinos' x Lilium 'Olina')
Lilium martagon NE1 and Lilium martagon NE10 (both seedlings I grew from a batch of seed exchange seed.)
Lilium tsingtauense x L. medeoloides or L. distichum (I call it L. miquelianum)
Lilium 'Super Tsing' and Lilium 'Supertsing' open pollinated seedling - an ugly duckling itself, with narrow very thick petals, but super vigorous.
And these are the choices:
#1 - (Lilium davidii var. willmottiae x Lilium 'Olina') x (Lilium 'Tinos' x Lilium 'Olina')
#2 - (Lilium davidii var. willmottiae x Lilium 'Olina') x Lilium 'Tinos'
#3 - Lilium martagon NE1 x Lilium martagon NE10
#4 - Lilium miquelianum open pollinated. Although in my experience, only ugly ducklings are produced. An example is
this
#5 - Lilium 'Super Tsing' open pollinated seedling, open pollinated. possible suitors are other Supertsing seedlings, L. miquelianum or L. miquelianum seedlings (no martagons or Super Tsing)
Also find I have some normal seed of Lilium michiganense open pollinated. There is nothing in bloom at the time that could even remotely pollinate other than the species itself. So it will be true.
#6 - Lilium michiganense
#7 - Lilium michiganense, seed from a different pod
There is a good chance I'll be able to fill what anyone wants, but list them in the order of your preference, in case numbers aren't sufficient. There is no limit as to how many kinds. One or several packet will take the same letter envelope stamp. Bubble wrap is not necessary and I won't use them. But if you want it, then I'll need a couple bucks from you to cover the cost.
Remember that L.martagon, miquelianum, Super Tsing and michiganense require a special germination method.
Treemail me with your requests, and don't forget your address! I'll wait and do them all next Saturday.
